5G-MOBIX ES-PT cross-border corridor trial site — CTAG automated shuttle across the Valenca-Tui international bridge
Valenca (Viana do Castelo) — Ponte Internacional Valenca-Tui, PT-ES cross-border; Portuguese leg, Portugal · Inactive / terminated
This is a shareable, evidence-led public summary. The interactive map contains the full record, its filters and associated directory information.
Operating scope
Cross-border geometry: the Ponte Internacional (Ponte Centenaria) between Valenca, Portugal and Tui, Spain, plus CTAG's facilities at O Porrino on the Spanish side [SRC-PT-16]. The test purpose was explicitly the border itself — to 'demonstrar o valor do 5G na Mobilidade Autonoma Conectada (CAM) em condicoes transfronteiricas' [SRC-PT-16] and to examine 'o impacto na conducao e funcoes autonomas das novas implantacoes de rede 5G em ambientes fronteiricos' [SRC-PT-18]. The engineering problem under test is mobile-network handover between two national operators mid-manoeuvre, not urban driving.
