Operators are also gradually abandoning 3G.

As Konstantin Ankilov explained, the exact characteristics of 6G have not yet been determined. However, it is expected that data transfer rates will be faster with lower latency rates. It is also possible to use not only cellular networks, but also satellite networks. Eldar Murtazin explained that sixth-generation networks differ from 5G in that they are even more focused on the Internet of Things, smart cities, etc.

Work in this direction is already underway in the world. Eldar Murtazin noted that development is underway, for example, in China and South Korea. The media also write about the USA. "Developments are being carried out by different companies. Huawei is probably the leader," Eldar Murtazin believes.

ComNews has previously belarus whatsapp number databa se written on numerous occasions that Russia has not yet begun actively deploying 5G networks. In one of his previous publications, Mikhail Telegin, Deputy Director General for Strategic Projects at Obit LLC, said that the focus is currently on maintaining the usual quality of communications due to a shortage of infrastructure equipment and software. "We are currently at the stage of testing individual samples of 5G base stations," said Mikhail Telegin. Evgeny Knyazev, Director of the Network Solutions Department at Step Logic LLC, reminded that frequencies for 5G have not yet been cleared, most of which are occupied by government agencies. In addition, there is no domestic core equipment for 5G networks on the market.



Maksut Shadayev, in an April presentation prepared for a meeting of the State Council working group on the digital economy, said that the creation of 5G infrastructure in cities with a population of over 1 million people is planned by 2028, and in cities with a population of 500 thousand residents - by 2030. Russian serial equipment will be used. Earlier, he reported that serial production of 5G base stations will begin in 2025, and active deployment - in 2026.

"Talk about research in the field of 6G is an attempt to put a good face on a bad game," says independent expert on IT and telecom markets Vadim Plessky about the initiative of the Ministry of Digital Development. He notes that given the sanctions and the impossibility of purchasing equipment for 5G networks, it is unrealistic for Russia to eliminate the lag in the next three to five years.

"In the absence of equipment for 5G networks, the Ministry of Digital Development could have allocated an additional frequency range for 4G networks, but this was not done either," said Vadim Plessky. "5G networks will develop in the next 10 years, perhaps longer: the technology has significant potential for expansion and development. There is no need for 6G networks."

"We cannot move straight to 6G, because it is implied that we need to first build 5G, and then jump to 6G. On the other hand, we do not have money for 5G, and 6G will be even more expensive. Therefore, the question of the emergence of 6G, while the state regulates the price of communications in Russia, is basically not worth it. It is too expensive," says Eldar Murtazin.
