A pilot 5G network has been launched in the center of Lviv for the first time in Ukraine. After testing and approvals from the military, the technology is planned to be scaled up to Borodyanka, Kharkiv, and other cities.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This was announced by<\/a> the Minister of Digital Transformation of Ukraine, Mykhailo Fedorov.<\/p>\n

Today, January 12, a pilot 5G network began operating in the center of Lviv. The main advantage of the technology is the data transfer speed, which is about 500 Mbps per subscriber.<\/p>\n

According to the information provided, Lviv was chosen for testing as a technological laboratory. The city has one of the highest penetration rates of 5G-ready smartphones in Ukraine. Currently, more than 20 5G base stations have been built in Lviv.<\/p>\n

“Lviv is becoming a technological laboratory that will help us work out all the technical aspects before the national launch,” said Mykhailo Fedorov, Minister of Digital Transformation of Ukraine.<\/p>\n

After testing is completed and approvals are received from the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the pilot network is planned to be scaled up. In January, 5G should be launched in Borodyanka, in February in Kharkiv, and later in other cities of Ukraine.<\/p>\n

The Ministry of Digital Transformation noted that the full launch of 5G was planned back in 2022. The implementation of the project was postponed for security reasons due to a full-scale war.<\/p>\n

“The launch of the 5G pilot is the result of systematic cooperation between the state, business, and the military,” said the Minister of Digital Transformation of Ukraine, Mykhailo Fedorov.<\/p>\n

The department emphasized that the development of electronic communications remains one of the state’s priorities even in times of war.<\/p>\n

“The launch of the 5G pilot is a clear signal to the world that Ukraine is moving towards the future,” said Mykhailo Fedorov, Minister of Digital Transformation of Ukraine.<\/p>\n

The day before, the Minister of Digital Transformation, Mykhailo Fedorov, had already announced that a 5G pilot project would be launched in Ukraine in two cities within a few weeks<\/a> .<\/p>\n

As previously reported, the Cabinet of Ministers approved amendments to the resolution on the use of radio frequencies. This allowed the introduction of 5G in Ukraine to begin.<\/a><\/p>\n
