As part of the basic coverage obligations of the award of 700/1500/2100 MHz, the operators are obliged to provide motorway coverage.
The motorways ("Autobahnen" and "Schnellstrassen") are defined in appendix J.5 of the frequency allocation (GIS geopackages):
Band | Date from | Coverage | Downlink | Uplink |
---|---|---|---|---|
700 MHz | 2023-12-31 | 98% of the kilometers | 10 MBit/s | 1 MBit/s |
The coverage obligation only applies to those sections of the motor way in which the obligated company is already operating
mobile communications infrastructure as of December 31, 2019 or the respective road infrastructure operator has made the
locations necessary for coverage available at least six months in advance.
