The aim of the project is to create a model for a cross-border, multi-functional info-communication system and service pack, specifically designed for the settlements at the Hungarian-Romanian border region. The planned development reduce the isolation of border villages, and strengthen the communication between neighbouring, and even cross-border, settlements by the help of the e-City Model. The basic idea of the project is that local governments should build up an optical cable network for their settlement or region.

The general objective of the project is preparation of a cross-border, multi-functional ICT system and service pack, specifically designed for the Hungarian-Romanian border region.
