Ukraine has taken its first practical step toward the deployment of 5G technology. A pilot 5G network has already been launched in Lviv, where more than 20 base stations are in operation and data transmission speeds reach approximately 500 Mbps per subscriber.
Following the completion of testing and the required approvals, the technology is planned to be scaled further: Borodianka in January, Kharkiv in February, followed by other cities across Ukraine.
The launch of 5G is not only about increased mobile data speeds. It is a strategic milestone demonstrating Ukraine’s readiness—even under wartime conditions—to invest in future-oriented technologies and to modernize its economy, industry, and critical infrastructure.
While 5G is only beginning to operate in public networks, ISTEL 3000 is already prepared to deliver private 5G networks (5G MPN — Mobile Private Networks) for businesses, industrial enterprises, and critical infrastructure facilities.
As the official partner of Kontron in Ukraine, ISTEL 3000 deploys fully managed private mobile networks featuring a dedicated 5G Core, guaranteed quality of service, and an enhanced level of security.
Private 5G refers to the concept of a dedicated mobile network tailored to the needs of a specific enterprise. 5G MPN is its practical implementation, providing traffic control, ultra-low latency, and predictable network performance.
The deployment of private 5G networks unlocks new opportunities for the digital transformation of manufacturing and industrial processes, including:
rapid connection of IIoT devices without the need for extensive cabling infrastructure;
real-time data collection and processing;
mobility for robotic systems, AGVs, and automated production lines;
flexible modernization of production facilities without interrupting technological processes.
5G MPN solutions are further enhanced by a secure 5G Standalone Core architecture and advanced cybersecurity tools designed for integrated OT/IT environments.
ISTEL 3000 is ready to become a reliable technology partner for telecom operators, industrial enterprises, and critical infrastructure operators in implementing advanced 5G solutions in Ukraine.
