LATVIJAS MOBILAIS TELEFONS SIA

Their core work

Latvijas Mobilais Telefons (LMT) is Latvia's leading mobile telecommunications operator, providing commercial mobile network infrastructure and services. In H2020 projects, they contribute real-world telecom network expertise — particularly 5G deployment, connected mobility trials, and cybersecurity for critical communications infrastructure. Their role centers on being an industry partner that brings operational telecom environments for testing and validating advanced digital technologies at scale.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

LMT entered H2020 in 2019 with a broad focus on cybersecurity policy and governance (SPARTA), then quickly pivoted toward applied 5G and autonomous systems. Their more recent projects — COMP4DRONES and 5G-ROUTES — show a clear shift toward deploying their telecom infrastructure for connected mobility and drone applications. The trajectory moves from policy-level digital security toward hands-on 5G-enabled autonomous systems testing.

LMT is positioning itself as a 5G infrastructure provider for autonomous transport and drone corridors, making them relevant for any project needing real-world mobile network testbeds in the Baltics.

How they like to work

LMT participates exclusively as a consortium partner, never as coordinator — consistent with their role as an industry end-user providing infrastructure and domain expertise rather than leading research. With 125 unique partners across 17 countries from just 3 projects, they operate in large-scale consortia (averaging 40+ partners per project). This means they are comfortable in complex, multi-national collaborations but are not a project driver — they bring assets and use cases, not project management.

Through just 3 projects, LMT has connected with 125 partners across 17 countries, reflecting participation in major pan-European consortia. Their network spans broadly across Western and Eastern Europe without a visible geographic concentration beyond their Baltic home base.

What sets them apart

LMT is one of the few national mobile operators from the Baltic states active in H2020, which makes them a valuable partner for any project needing 5G testbed access in the Latvia-Lithuania-Estonia corridor. Their combination of telecom infrastructure with cybersecurity awareness and drone/mobility experience is uncommon among operators of their size. For consortium builders targeting Baltic or cross-border Northern European trials, LMT offers both the network and the regulatory relationships needed for real-world deployment.

Highlights from their portfolio

• 5G-ROUTES
  Their largest project (EUR 294K) focused on cross-border 5G connected and automated mobility trials — directly tied to their core business as a mobile operator.
• SPARTA
  A major European cybersecurity competence network, giving LMT visibility in the EU cybersecurity governance ecosystem beyond their telecom core.
