The test environment in Zalaegerszeg offers a good basis for Hungary to become one of the regional centers of 5G developments, even playing a leading role in the region in the field of testing new network technology and smart solutions built on them. Promoting this objective, Telekom starts building a 5G pilot mobile communication network at the motor vehicle test area to be established in Zalaegerszeg.
