A revolutionary step in the field of communications: Georgia is preparing for the introduction of 5G technology

A new era of communications is beginning in Georgia, which promises tremendous opportunities for the development of various industries. The National Communications Commission has announced an auction for the introduction of the fifth generation mobile Internet - 5G. This is a revolutionary technology that will bring a significant increase in speed and reduce latency in the mobile Internet, opening up new horizons for healthcare, education, business, agriculture, infrastructure and other important areas of life.

The auction will be held for 24 lots covering various frequency ranges, including 700, 3400-3700 and 2600 megahertz. Operating companies that receive licenses are required to gradually cover densely populated areas, tourist areas, ports, airports, railways and major highways with a 5G network within three to seven years. Such extensive coverage will provide unprecedented connectivity and quick access to information for all residents and visitors of Georgia.

When implementing 5G networks, operators must comply with the technical standards established by the European Union, which guarantees high quality and security of the network. In addition, operators who have received licenses are required to provide access to their network to mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs), which will provide more choice for users and create conditions for fair competition in the market.

One of the important points is that the auction provides an opportunity to participate not only in combined lots, but also in individual lots. Lot prices vary depending on the frequency spectrum range and line width. The winners of the auction will have the right to establish discounts on the use of the radio frequency spectrum up to 80%.

Georgia, striving to be among the leaders in the field of communications and information technology, has already taken active steps to prepare for the introduction of 5G technology. The Government has allocated significant funds for the development of broadband infrastructure and modernization of communication networks. Such investments contribute to strengthening the country's economy and improving the quality of life of citizens.

5G technology opens up huge prospects for Georgia in various fields. Fast data transmission, low latency and high network throughput will play a key role in the further development of innovation and the digital economy. We are looking forward to the beginning of a new era of communication in Georgia and are confident that the introduction of 5G technology will bring many benefits to all areas of life and make our country even more attractive for investment and tourism development.
