The most popular frequencies for 5G will be 700 MHz , which will provide the maximum coverage radius, and 3500 MHz - for areas with a high subscriber density. Moreover, experimental work is still underway on the 700 MHz spectrum.
Oleksandr Komarov: "I don't see a horizon right now when 5G will be implemented in Ukraine"
Most likely, the active implementation of 5G will not begin before 2025, although the tender for frequency allocation will be held next year. Currently, 5G makes no economic sense, believes the CEO of Kyivstar. But there is another factor - competition. And the tender will probably specify when operators should implement the network. This may somewhat albania number data speed up the implementation process. Although there may be another way of developing events, for example, in Europe some operators have acquired frequencies, but the launch of the 5G network has been postponed for a certain period.
In general, there is some disappointment in the world with 5G. Among large countries, only two states are actively implementing it: China and the USA. In China, the implementation of 5G has been made a state program, since equipment from local vendors is used there. That is, operators are essentially investing in Chinese manufacturers.
And in the USA, there is a different reason. At one time, small settlements there were not covered with fiber-optic communication. That is why things like 5G and StarLink satellite Internet were "shot"; they are in demand precisely in small towns and villages.
2025 will most likely be the end of 3G in Ukraine, said Oleksandr Komarov. The fact is that it will be very difficult for the operator to support all communication technologies simultaneously.
Kyivstar Superpowers
Providing bonuses to their subscribers is a common strategy of mobile operators. But usually this only concerned the mobile services themselves, for example, additional minutes of free calls, additional gigabytes, and so on. But in Superpowers we are talking about bonuses that, firstly, the subscriber can choose himself, and secondly, they concern not only telecom. For example, the operator offers free delivery of goods from online stores, gas stations, postal services, food products, travel, and so on.
