echnical measures for the compatibility of 5G networks with existing equipment. The pilot project will use domestic base stations.
During the pilot, 5G networks will undergo compatibility tests with special services and satellite communications networks. This was stated in a statement by the Ministry of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Media following the meeting.
spectrum allows law enforcement algeria whatsapp number database agencies to limit the use of frequencies by communications operators, if necessary, in order to switch to the operation of the radio electronic equipment (REE) of law enforcement agencies. Provisions on dynamic spectrum management are contained in the Strategy for the Development of the Communications Industry of the Russian Federation until 2035.
"To increase the efficiency of frequency resource use, dynamic spectrum management mechanisms are needed. Testing of this mechanism will take place in certain locations of million-plus cities, where it is necessary to eliminate the creation of interference for special users' radio electronic equipment. The introduction of such a system will increase the efficiency of spectrum use, taking into account the interests of all participants, and in the future will make it possible to find sufficient frequency resources for 5G networks," said a representative of the press service of PJSC MegaFon.
PJSC VimpelCom (Beeline brand), LLC T2 Mobile (Tele2) and PJSC MTS did not provide comments.
The Ministry of Digital Development also did not provide an answer regarding the content of the commission meeting and the timing of the pilot project.

MTS does not want to share frequencies with law enforcement agencies
MTS has spoken out against the joint use of frequencies for the deployment of a 5G network with law enforcement agencies and the creation of a single industry operator for this network. Such measures are included in the draft Strategy for the Development of the Russian Communications Industry until 2035, the discussion of which is scheduled to be completed in mid-September 2023. Experts call the operator's indignation fair.
The pilot project is planned to use domestic base stations. However, they do not exist yet.
"We only make LTE network equipment, it will appear in late 2025 - early 2026, manufacturers are focused on it. That is, equipment for the fifth-generation network will appear later. However, it is not only the equipment that is important, but also the fifth-generation smartphones that it will service. Therefore, I do not think that it will be fast," said Denis Kuskov, CEO of TelecomDaily.
At the same time, the head of the Ministry of Digital Development, Maksut Shadayev, stated in an interview with the Russia 24 channel in February that he hopes for the serial production of 5G base stations in 2025, and from 2026 they will begin to be actively installed in large cities.
Telegram channel "Non-digital economy" noted the following question following the meeting: "The application for tests was submitted for 4.63-4.99 GHz, and not for the entire 4.4-4.99 GHz range. The Ministry of Digital Development says that no one cut the range: they gave the one they applied for. But we are adults and we understand that applications are not submitted out of the blue, but after coordination with law enforcement agencies. So it looks like there were problems with coordination in the lower part of the seemingly accessible 5G range. What does this mean? That the 5G range can be cut by almost 40%, or by 230 MHz out of 590 MHz. And then 360 MHz will be available for 5G for all operators, or 90 MHz each."
At the end of January 2024, the government designated the 4.4-4.99 GHz frequency band for the deployment of 5G networks. The band is used, among other things, by special services and satellite systems. Leonid Konik, a partner at ComNews Research, previously said that the range has many limitations and almost no 5G base stations are created for it in the world. However, he believes that there may not be a problem in Russia - domestic developers can create equipment for this band from scratch.
