Russia is starting the production of 4G and 5G base stations that will use Russian-made software. This was announced on October 1 by Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin. We are now launching the creation of base stations with Russian software for 4G and 5G networks. Next year, we plan to establish mass production of such solutions.
"The active deployment of 5G networks at domestic base stations will begin in 2026 in large Russian cities," the minister said, noting that preparatory work to launch the networks will take place in 2025.
Moscow is now one of the cities where the testing of fifth generation communication - 5G - has already begun. These test operations anticipate the forthcoming commercial launch of the new technology. 5G is notable for gigabit speeds of data transfer, low latencies, high energy efficiency and ultra-high mobility for millions of connected devices.
MTS presented the first Russian 5G base station "Irteya" at the All-Russian CIPR-2025 conference. According to the company's press service, the new generation of base stations uses the OpenRAN open standards principle, in which part of the work is performed in cloud data centers, rather than directly at the station.
