The Ministry of Media plans to introduce the fifth generation link in the millionth cities by 2024. Reports about it “Interfax”.
The deadline for turning the technology shared the head of the Ministry of Media Maksut Shadaev. The speaker called 5G critical technology, which in Russia decided to develop on their own. “Of course, it imposes restrictions on the pace of distribution, but the state was more important to control this technology,” said Shadaev. According to him, at the moment a large program for creating its own prototype of equipment is being implemented, the appearance of 5G will be provided in all million million cities by 2024.
Also, the head of the Ministry of Media commented on rumors about the dangers of a new standard, calling them groundless. In addition, he noted that some Russians are concerned that 5G will be developed to the detriment of 4G. “Often citizens are afraid of installing new base stations due to their possible influence on working stations. And this is a delusion,” said the head of the department.
In July, Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko called the 5G network launch dates in Russian millionth cities. According to him, in cities with a population more than a million people, a new generation network will appear after three years.
In May, director of special instructions of the state corporation “Rostech” Vasily Brovko announced that the first pilot zones 5G with domestic filling can be launched in 2023
