What will the inaccessibility of the "golden range" lead to?
Theoretically, the lack of access to the 3.4-3.8 GHz range does not mean a complete refusal to launch 5G networks. Let us recall that 3 frequency groups are needed for 5G networks to operate. For coverage in rural areas with a low subscriber density - both people and connected machines/mechanisms/sensors - a range of up to 1 GHz; for large cities - where, for obvious reasons, the greatest demand for 5G is expected - a range from 1 to 6 GHz is recommended, and for local coverage of places with a large concentration of subscribers (stadiums, airports, etc.), 2.425-2.95 GHz is usually allocated. The most common sub-range for civilian use in urban conditions falls precisely on the aforementioned 3.4-3.8 GHz.
As an alternative, Russian iran whatsapp resource operators are offered to allocate the 4.4-4.99 GHz range for the "fifth generation", but there is a problem - where to get subscriber devices to work in this specific range? Russian telecom will have to find subscriber devices of the "fifth generation" that work outside the "golden range", and there are few of them, so they are quite expensive, and the model ranges of such devices are extremely narrow. There is an opinion, supported by telecom operators, that the problems with subscriber devices will be so serious that they will practically put an end to the rapid and wide spread of the "fifth generation" in Russian reality.
Import substitution processes are underway in both traditional IT and telecom. In particular, the Governmentwill directan additional 3.4 billion rubles by the end of the current year for the production of Russian base stations, according to Mikhail Mishustin . This addition is quite significant; over 12 billion rubles have already been allocated for the creation of Russian base stations over the past 3 years, as the Prime Minister recalled.
The first Russian "fifth generation" base stations will appear in the network of local operators by the beginning of 2025. It is interesting that according to the Roadmap for the development of the high-tech direction "Modern and promising mobile networks" until 2030, the creation of which began last year, the appearance of Russian 5G stations should occur almost simultaneously with the release of Russian LTE stations. This roadmap provides for total investments in the amount of 84.13 billion rubles. In addition to the mentioned direction related to the development and release of base stations, the document describes 5 more development directions, one of which, for example, is related to the creation of the Russian core of mobile communication networks, etc.
Instead of a conclusion
According to the plans described in the Roadmap, by 2030, more than 100 million Russian subscribers will receive mobile communications in cellular networks built on Russian equipment. Moreover, services in 5G networks should be available to about half of these users.
However, it is quite possible that the plans will be adjusted. When they were adopted, there was hope that the "golden range" would be available for civilian use. The overall economic situation was somewhat better, in particular, there was no growing budget deficit, which by the end of the first half of 2023 had already exceeded 2 trillion 462.5 billion rubles against a surplus of 2 trillion 829.5 billion rubles for the same period in 2022, asreports"Interfax".
The government is showing positivity
