Russia’s State Commission for Radio Frequencies (SCRF) has decided to expand the range of frequencies earmarked for deployment of 5G networks in large cities, by allocating spectrum within the 4.4GHz-4.8GHz band for testing.
The New Digital Solutions joint venture formed by MegaFon, Beeline and Rostelecom/Tele2 (and expected to include MTS) will conduct research in this range under two-year test spectrum allocations, with the first results of testing scheduled to be presented in 2022, ComNews reports. Earlier, the SCRF allocated the 4.8GHz-4.99GHz and 24.25GHz-29.5GHz bands for 5G testing.
