Armenia`s Ministry of High-Tech Industry plans to introduce 5G  network 

ArmInfo. The Public Services Regulatory Commission (PSRC) will allocate a radio frequency of 3600-3800 MHz for the deployment of a 5G broadband network in Armenia. As reported on the page of the Ministry of High-Tech Industry, the head of the department Mkhitar Hayrapetyan stated this in an interview with Public Television. 

According to him, these steps are oriented towards the future, since  5G technologies will contribute to the creation of smart cities and  will be used more in industrial zones. , - Hayrapetyan emphasized. As the minister  said, a bill has been submitted to circulation for these purposes,  which will be presented to Parliament in the fall. After the  legislative changes, a tender will be announced, the terms of which  the department is actively working with the PSRC.

, - said the head of the department. 

Back in March 2023, the CEO of the telecommunications company Team  Telecom Armenia Hayk Yesayan said that the company was the first  among telecom operators in Armenia to apply to the PSRC for the 700  MHz range for the deployment of the 5G network. He noted that the 5th  generation network will be available in Yerevan and several regional  centers of the country after two years.  At the same time, the head  of Team Telecom Armenia said that the consumer does not need 5G  today, since its modulation does not differ much from the existing  network, and this is rather a marketing ploy.  , noted Hayk Yesayan.
