MegaFon Tests Its First Private 5G Network
The company completed a full cycle of laboratory testing for different radio access technology migration scenarios.
MegaFon has tested a private 5G network in its laboratory. Such networks are most commonly deployed at large industrial and mining facilities. The tests demonstrated readiness to migrate private LTE networks to 5G using Russian-made base stations.
A key stage of the testing involved integrating Russian equipment with foreign-made base stations. The tests confirmed that equipment from different vendors could operate seamlessly within a single network while maintaining uninterrupted connectivity. MegaFon also tested the compatibility of software platforms for telemetry and remote monitoring, as well as systems for transportation and logistics management.
