Dmitry Kim, Deputy Head of the Ministry of Digital Development of the Russian Federation, said that Russian operators have signed contracts with domestic manufacturers of base stations for mobile communication networks for more than 100 billion rubles. He said that about 75,000 base stations will be delivered under these contracts by 2030.
Operators signed forward contracts for more than 100 billion rubles. The total volume until 2030 is about 75,000 base stations. Already from 2028, they will have to purchase exclusively domestic base stations. The transition to Russian equipment will be phased. This will make sure that the requirements for the equipment are fully met and distribute the financial burden.
