History

2022: MTS joins Rostelecom, MegaFon and VimpelCom 5G JV

On July 4, 2022, MTS entered the joint venture of MegaFon, Rostelecom and VimpelCom for the development of 5G networks, as evidenced by data from the SPARK-Interfax system. We are talking about New Digital Solutions LLC. MTS confirmed joining the enterprise, but refrained from commenting.

All participants in this joint venture have equal shares. "New digital solutions" are created to conduct tests for electromagnetic compatibility, research on the possibility of using bands of the radio frequency spectrum for the construction of 5G networks, as well as clearing the spectrum. MTS was previously in no hurry to be among the founders of this joint venture, but announced its intention, Kommersant notes on July 6, 2022.

MTS joins Rostelecom, MegaFon and VimpelCom 5G development joint venture

By this day, MTS has a license to launch networks of the new 5G communication standard in 83 constituent entities of Russia at frequencies of 24.25-24.65 GHz. The company planned to use them to create private closed networks at industrial enterprises, retail, oil and gas complex and logistics.

According to Rostelecom President Mikhail Oseevsky, the founders of New Digital Solutions have been expanding the membership of the joint venture for more than two years.

The shortage of frequencies suitable for creating 5G networks in Russia is one of the most significant deterrents. The joint venture has a very large amount of work ahead on the release of radio frequency resources, taking into account the entire range of issues - regulatory, organizational, technical, economic. The result of the work of the NCR should be an objective full-fledged picture of the frequency resource available for the construction of fifth-generation networks in Russia. These data will make it possible to make more balanced decisions both to the state at all levels of regulation and to mobile operators to build an effective business on the basis of new generation networks, he said.[1]

Release of 4400-4990 MHz frequencies for 5G testing

The State Commission on Radio Frequencies (GKRCH) at a meeting on November 29, 2021 decided to allocate a 4400-4990 MHz band to the New Digital Solutions (NCR) company for testing 5G networks.

This range, which is used by the FSO, the Federal Air Transport Agency, the Ministry of Defense and Roskosmos, is allocated for a period of two years.

Frequencies for 5G expanded in Russia

At the same time, GKRCH did not allow the joint venture VimpelCom, Rostelecom and MegaFon to test the 4555-4630 MHz and 4990-5000 MHz bands. These bands are also used by law enforcement agencies.

In addition, the commission refused to allocate 3.4-3.8 GHz frequencies to VimpelCom for 5G testing in the Moscow metro. Earlier, GKRCH has already refused to test this range of MTS and MegaFon.

Operators call the 3.4-3.8 GHz band "gold," since it is he who is best suited for the development of 5G. These frequencies belong to the power departments - the Ministry of Defense and the FSO - and are used by them for satellite communications.

On December 1, 2021, the press service of the Ministry of Digital Science reported that the subordinate research institute "Radio" continues the experiment on the use of models of 5G equipment. The purpose of the experiment is to determine the conditions for compatibility between different users of the 6 GHz band for the introduction of 5G networks in Russia. The results will be presented at the World Radio Conference in 2023. If additional bands are approved, manufacturers will be able to start adapting equipment for work at new frequencies.

In addition to the previously allocated frequencies of 6.7-6.8 GHz, according to the decision of the State Committee for Radio Broadcasting, the institute received 6.4-6.7 GHz bands, which will expand the range to 400 MHz.

The press service of MegaFon reported that it is necessary to conduct a study of the 4.4-4.8 GHz range for future 5G networks in order to understand the real availability of the entire band. This will avoid a situation in which frequencies may be unsuitable for practical use, the telecommunications company explained.[2]

Megafon, VimpelCom and Rostelecom created a joint venture to clear 5G frequencies

The companies VimpelCom"," MegaFon"" and Rostelecom"" agreed that they will become participants in New Digital Solutions LLC (NCR) with equal shares in the authorized capital. This was reported on June 3, 2021 TAdviser by MegaFon. The joint venture (JV) of operators will deal with security issues radio frequency resources for. creation of fifth generation mobile networks (5G) in Russia

The agreement on the joint venture was signed by MegaFon CEO Gevork Vermishyan, VimpelCom President Rashid Ismailov and Rostelecom President Oseevsky Mikhail Oseevsky.

"New Digital Solutions" will be engaged in the organization of electromagnetic compatibility testing (EMC), research on the possibility of using radio frequency spectrum bands for the construction of 5G networks, as well as the implementation of the necessary organizational and technical measures to release the radio frequency spectrum from operating electronic means of various purposes in bands acceptable for the deployment of 5G networks (including, but not limited to 694-790 MHz, 3.4-3.8 GHz, 4.4-4.99 GHz, 24.25-29.5 GHz).

Along with the Big Four, the regional operator Motive may enter the project, Kommersant writes, citing its sources. The operator's general director Alexei Artemasov, in a conversation with the newspaper, said that Motif was ready to take part in the deployment of 5G networks. Negotiations are underway to provide "equal, non-discriminatory conditions" for entering a joint venture, he said.

The "motive" has good positions in the Urals, but, like any regional operator, it becomes a hostage to higher prices in which other roaming players set it, said the head of the agency Content Review , Sergei Polovnikov. In his opinion, the company is unlikely to be able to count on large corporate clients.[3][4]

According to Vermishyan, frequency transmission will happen very soon. To do this, it is necessary to assess the frequencies owned by Rostelecom and Megafon, and attract other players to the joint venture - VimpelCom and MTS. The main task is to unite everyone under one philosophy: 3.4-3.8 GHz is the most valuable range for 5G, so the work on its conversion must be coordinated.

On June 10, 2019, it became known that the Security Council of the Russian Federation does not support the release of 3.4-3.8 GHz frequencies for 5G, since they are used by government services, the transfer of civilian communications is inappropriate for reasons of security and defense of the country[5]
