“The new 5G standard will make mobile even more affordable. Subscribers will get a lot more services for less money,” said Sergey Soldatenkov, acting CEO of MegaFon.
“Our company was the first in Russia to launch a 3G mobile network in 2008 and an LTE network in 2012. 5G is the next stage in mobile technology and offers a radically new level of service and capabilities for our customers.”
MegaFon and Huawei signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to deliver trial 5G network services at the Fifa World Cup 2018.
