The first 4G / LTE base station compatible with 5G was created in Russia

As company representatives note, this is the first domestic base station: it is ready for full

implementation in the network. It is also reported that the development is compatible with 5G networks.

The new base station is almost completely implemented on the original circuitry developed by Rostec, and the level of production localization exceeds 90%.

This year we will also introduce productsfor other popular frequency ranges. The creation of a carrier-grade LTE-A base station provides Russian manufacturers with the necessary basis and experience for the development and subsequent serial production of domestic 5G equipment. 

Vasily Brovko, Director for Special Assignments of the Rostec State Corporation

The station complies with the 3GPP Release specification14. This standard provides a throughput of up to 3 Gbit/s. The station uses the 450 MHz frequency range. It talks about support for VoLTE (Voice-over-LTE) and NB-IoT (Narrow Band Internet of Things) technologies.

The base station is a monoblocksolution for outdoor placement and designed taking into account the climatic features of Russia. The development operates at temperatures down to minus 40°C. A passive cooling system is provided.
