Vedomosti, found at the Mintsifra approval project, said that Rostec will postpone immediate plans for possible equipment for 5G networks and suggests the possibility of LTE.
The State Corporation agreed on the requirements for equipment and assessed the readiness for the introduction of foreign technologies. Based on this, it was decided that in 2022, LTE networks are more in demand on the market.
The primary problem at present is the current need in the telecommunications industry, which has arisen due to the disappearance of vendors. That is, the operational production of the serial standard of the LTE standard, on which communication here and now depends.
The development of equipment for the promising 5G standard is no less important, but not such an urgent task.

One of the main reasons for this decision is the outflow of foreign manufacturers. In particular, we are talking about Ericsson, Nokia and Huawei, which guard or suspend their activities in Russia.
So far, there is no domestic equipment for 5G in the country, only prototypes. Now it is easier to focus on sustainable technologies. [Ведомости]
