Russian territory, where about 60% of the population lives, will be covered by 5G communication networks according to the communication industry strategy until 2030, said Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko.
According to him, in this way the average speed of mobile Internet will be at least 125 Mbit/s. In addition, 98% of households will be connected to the Internet with a speed of 1 Gbit/s. The new communication infrastructure will help to increase the capacity of lines for cross-border data transmission by 4.5 times.
Chernyshenko noted that the work is being carried out to ensure the technological sovereignty of the country. For this purpose, a group of satellites will be launched into space by 2035, and 19 spacecraft will be put into orbit.
