The 5G Revolution in Moscow: A Model for Smart Cities
The Foundation: Building a Robust 5G Infrastructure Moscow''s journey to 5G supremacy began with a massive overhaul of its mobile network infrastructure. From 2018 to 2020, Beeline
By 2030, 16 Russian cities will be provided with 5G infrastructure. This was announced on December 11 by the head of the Ministry of Digitization Maksut Shadaev. "In 2026 they (samples of Russian base stations. - Ed.) will go into production, and we will start building 5G infrastructure in two cities.
According to Russian news agency Tass, Russia expects to conduct pilot testing of 5G networks in 2025 using “home grown”/ locally built base stations. Russia's Ministry of digital development, communications and mass media Maksut Shadayev said, “We expect a pilot test to begin in 2025 in cities with more than one million people.”
Prior to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, foreign vendors previously helped with limited 5G test zones in the country. In January 2023, Russian telecom operators entered into forward contracts with Russian manufacturers of base stations for communication networks for over 100 Billion rubles ($1.32 Billion).
Russia's Ministry of digital development, communications and mass media Maksut Shadayev said, “We expect a pilot test to begin in 2025 in cities with more than one million people.” Russia has fallen far behind in the 5G race due to sanctions following its invasion of Ukraine.
In May this year, Russia for the first time launched low-orbit satellites using NTN's 5G standard to communicate with subscribers. The first mission launched in June 2023 and was deemed a complete success. In March, Shadaev said that 3,000 small settlements in Russia were connected to high-speed internet in 2023.
In a blog post last September, Counterpoint Research wrote: “Russia might have to wait to get 5G services, as the government hasn't finalized the spectrum band for the auction, although the ministry concerned is moving towards mmWave in the 24.25GHz-27.5GHz band from existing radio relay stations and 4GHz.
