Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., announced on August 24 its work with the Department for Information Technologies of Moscow, Russian mobile operators, equipment and software vendors. The project will support the testing and deployment of Europe’s first 5G millimeter wave network in Moscow this fall ahead of wider launches Next Year.
The Moscow project will enable the testing and commercialization of a wide range of new applications, from improved fixed broadband and mobile wireless access for private users to unique business solutions. The project is meant to kick-start a range of new 5G-enabled digital services and innovation in the city, including virtual and augmented reality applications, which are set to become some of the most important elements of the Russian capital’s digital space.
Qualcomm says the network will use band n257, which encompasses the 28 GHz band. Until now, European and Asian mobile carriers have focused most of their 5G network development resources on so-called sub-6GHz radio frequencies. High-band mmWave 5G, capable of supporting massive capacity, super-fast speeds, and low latency, has sparked much interest in the United States.
