Europeā€™s first ā€˜5G land-based intermodal logistics terminalā€™ has opened commercially in eastern Hungary, based on network solutions fromĀ Vodafone HungaryĀ in partnership withĀ Huawei. The East-West Gate (EWG) terminal was built at a cost of over USD95 million to handle up to a million large containers per year, and is the first terminal in Europe with 5G remote-controlled cranes. The primary function of the terminal is to trans-ship incoming European/Asian rail shipments, and could also soon become the largest rail hub for Ukraineā€™s food exports. The first train carrying agricultural goods from Ukraine rolled into the terminal during the opening ceremony, GlobalTimes reported.
