Vantage Towers launched the Emerald Motorway Corridor (EMCIE) project in Wicklow, Ireland, on October 19, 2026. The project will deliver enhanced 5G connectivity along the M1 in Louth and Meath, M50, and M11. The infrastructure includes twelve new communications towers and upgrades to twenty-two existing ones. The initiative is supported by €3.5 million from the EU’s Connecting Europe Facility (CEF).

Why it matters
The EMCIE is described as Ireland's first 'digital highway'. It is designed to support connected transport and logistics across the country. The enhanced connectivity could enable real-time cargo tracking, compliance, and port operations that respond to live conditions.
