As a result of significant operator investments in LTE networks, the country is now rapidly migrating to 4G. 4G as a proportion of total connections is set to more than double over the next five years to reach two-thirds of the total by 2023<\/p>\n<p><strong>While Russia is not among the first wave of countries to launch 5G, there is a growing focus within the mobile industry and among relevant policy-makers on the importance of 5G to the sector and broader economy.<\/strong> Forecasts for 5G adoption in Russia suggest commercial deployments from 2020, with the total 5G base set to reach 46 million by 2025, equivalent to 20% of the connections base. On this forecast, Russia would be above the global average but trailing leading 5G markets such as the US, South Korea and Chin<\/p>\n<p><strong>5G is widely viewed in Russia as a necessity for the creation of a new and more competitive national economy.<\/strong> The implementation of 5G networks should be considered by regulators not as just a new technical advancement in telecoms but as a condition for delivering the digital economy and driving the transformation of industries. With such a mindset, the regulation of the mobile industry should shift from controlling and supervising the industry to fostering its development. A key factor in the successful deployment and operation of 5G networks is the availability of a state-supported comprehensive development plan for 5G communications.<\/p>\n<p>To ensure that Russia is able to realise the promise of 5G and the broader digital economy, this report includes a number of policy recommendations to facilitate timely deployment of 5G networks in Russia.<\/p>\n<p><strong>This report has been produced through collaboration between GSMA Intelligence, Analytical Center for the Government of Russian Federation and LTE Union.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>5G is widely viewed in Russia as a necessity for the creation of a new and more competitive national economy.
