Iran plans to hold a tender for allocating the frequency band needed for providing fifth generation technology (5G) by mobile operators, says the country’s telecoms regulator, despite concerns that the move could lead to a monopoly in the field.
Iran’s telecoms minister Mohammad Javad Azari Jahromi says household access to fifth-generation (5G) broadband service will begin in the country by February 2021.
An Iranian mobile operator has installed a second antenna for providing superfast internet based on the so-called fifth generation technology (5G) in the capital Tehran.
