Belarus considering three models of 5G deployment – Telecom Ministry
MINSK, Jun 25 - PrimePress. Belarus is currently considering three models of implementing the fifth generation (5G) cellular mobile communication technology.
Minister of Communications and Information Konstantin Shulgan made a statement to this effect during a meeting with representatives of telecom operators and public organizations on June 24.
In particular, the infrastructure model implies the construction of a single 5G network infrastructure only by the (sole) infrastructure operator. The competitive model provides for the construction of 5G network infrastructure (passive and active) by each operator. At the same time, in order to optimize costs, operators will cooperate in the construction of transport infrastructure (fiber-optic communication lines).
The passive infrastructure sharing model implies the construction of active 5G network infrastructure (radio equipment) by each operator within the radio frequency spectrum allocated to the operator, and construction of passive infrastructure (transport network, antenna-mast structures, fiber-optic communication lines) by the infrastructure operator.
As previously reported, the government of Belarus created a specialized working group to consider options for the development of 5G technology. Currently, operators A1, MTS and beCloud have created 5G test zones using equipment of different vendors and built on different technological principles. End
