Speaking to DCD, Stanislav Prybytko, director general of the directorate for mobile broadband for Ukraine's Ministry of Digital Transformation, explains that the war with Russia has stalled the country's 5G goals.
In particular, Huawei Ukraine will conduct tests of International Mobile Telecommunications (IMT) radio technology with the 5G base standard in Kropyvnytskyi and Ivano-Frankivsk. During the tests, the company plans to use Huawei-branded DBS5900 model test base stations with RRU5818 model remote radio units.
