MTS, Skoltech and Skolkovo Foundation launched a 5G pilot zone for the International Medical Cluster

2021: 5G Pilot Network Launch

MTS, Skoltech and the Skolkovo Foundation launched on Huawei equipment for MMK a fragment of the latest generation pilot network in the 4.9 GHz range, which will cover the construction site with an outdoor signal, where the construction of a complex of medical cluster buildings is completed. This was announced on March 1, 2021 by MTS.

At the first stage, the 5G network will implement a 24-hour HD video surveillance service for construction work using video cameras. After the completion of construction, 5G indoor coverage will be deployed in the ISC premises to implement various services and cases in the field of telemedicine.

In October 2020, MTS, Skoltech and the Skolkovo Foundation have already launched a 5G pilot network on the territory of Skolkovo to test developments in the field of 5G technologies and create domestic promising industrial ICT solutions and services based on them.

{{quote 'MTS, in cooperation with partners and residents of the Skolkovo Foundation, expands the 5G coverage area on the territory of the innovation center and becomes an active participant in projects that will contribute to the development of domestic science and industry in the coming years. Now the International Medical Cluster is connected to our MTS-Skoltech network. I am sure that the next 5G pilot zone will become a platform for the development and implementation of technologies at the junction of IT and medicine, "said Dmitry Khalin, vice president of cloud and digital solutions at MTS. }}

Our pilot zone is gradually expanding and more partners are gaining access to breakthrough 5G technology. We see the extreme interest of companies from the Skolkovo ecosystem in testing cases. 5G coverage of the territory of the International Medical Cluster will allow to work out both specialized medical and development scenarios on the real network. In the future, as fifth-generation networks develop, they can be used anywhere in the country where there is 5G coverage. This is a good experience for Skoltech and our project partners, "said the head of the Central Committee of the STI on the basis of Skoltech on wireless and wireless technologies communications. Internet of things Dmitry Lakontsev

Skolkovo "acts as a training ground in piloting services based on 5G networks and at the same time participates in the development of technologies. The next step is the application in the industry of domestic, including Skolkovsky developments. It is important that they the Russian startups will be among the first to test their solutions in our 5G pilot network. And, of course, we will do everything to accelerate the introduction of Russian developments in the construction of future 5G networks, "said the chairman of the Skolkovo Foundation. Arkady Dvorkovich
