Ukraine Begins Testing 5G: Opportunities and Development Prospects

15.11.24

Ukraine has embarked on 5G testing, marking a significant step forward in the advancement of innovative communication technologies that are already widely used around the world. Recently, the Ukrainian government endorsed a decision that paves the way for the rollout of 5G technology, which promises data transfer speeds up to 10 times faster than current networks. This development opens up significant opportunities to strengthen infrastructure, improve safety, and boost efficiency across sectors such as healthcare, manufacturing, transportation, and other areas that rely on reliable connectivity.


Our partner, Slovenian company Kontron, plays an active role in advancing 5G technology. Specializing in critical communication systems, Kontron supports a variety of industries, particularly transportation and critical infrastructure, where rapid data processing and low latency are crucial. The company has successfully implemented 5G in several European countries, contributing to the digitalization and modernization of infrastructure.


Kontron offers modular, scalable solutions designed to help companies increase productivity and improve security. Among their innovative solutions are:


• Private 5G Networks (5G MPN), which enable companies to automate operations, enhance worker safety, and manage assets in real time. These networks connect with manufacturing robots, track pipelines, monitor supply chains, and maintain connectivity in critical situations, delivering the flexibility and reliability that businesses need.

• FRMCS (Future Railway Mobile Communication System), a 5G-based system aimed at driving the digital transformation of railway transportation. FRMCS enables reliable data transmission critical to automated and precise railway operations. It is set to replace the existing GSM-R system, unlocking new potential for greater accuracy and safety in rail transport.


5G offers Ukraine markedly faster data transfer speeds, low latency, and increased bandwidth, paving the way for production process automation, real-time monitoring, and enhanced safety and productivity. Implementing Kontron’s solutions could be a pivotal step in modernizing and reinforcing Ukraine’s infrastructure—an essential move given the ongoing full-scale war. These advanced solutions for transportation and security will help make life safer and more comfortable, stimulate economic growth, and increase the country’s competitiveness on the global stage.
