ASTANA, Kazakhstan, June 19. Kazakhstan plans
to complete the introduction of 5G mobile communications by the end
of 2025, said the Minister of Digital Development, Innovation, and
Aerospace industry of Kazakhstan, Zhaslan Madiev, at a government
meeting, Trend
reports.
"As directed by the head of state, the 5G mobile communication
introduction is to be finished by the end of 2025. Generally
speaking, cellular carriers will have made investments in the
telecoms sector of around 450 billion tenge (almost $980 million)
by 2027," the minister said.
Madiev noted that, regarding the further development of 5G
technology, operators Kcell and Tele2 will continue to work to
expand 5G coverage in the cities of Astana, Almaty, Shymkent, and
regional centers.
"Today, 1,144 base stations have been installed in 20 cities,"
he said.
In telecommunications, 5G is the fifth-generation technology
standard for cellular networks, which cellular phone companies
began deploying worldwide in 2019, and is the successor to 4G
technology that provides connectivity to most current mobile
phones.
Like their predecessors, 5G networks are cellular networks, in
which the service area is divided into small geographical areas
called cells. All 5G wireless devices in a cell are connected to
the Internet and the telephone network by radio waves through a
base station and antennae in the cell.
The new networks are lightning fast, reaching speeds of up to 10
gigabits per second (Gbit/s) when there's only one user in the
network.
5G has higher bandwidth to deliver faster speeds than 4G and can
connect more devices, improving the quality of Internet services in
crowded areas.
