ANCOM: 5G connections in Romania have tripled in the last year, yet still unsatisfactory outcome

June 19, 2024

The number of 5G connections in Romania has tripled in the last year, up to 2.3 million, but, from my point of view, it is still an unsatisfactory outcome, with 11% of the total, on Friday said Valeriu Zgonea, the president of the National Authority for Administration and Regulation in Communications (ANCOM), at the "Communications for the Future: Innovation and Research in the Digital Era" workshop, dedicated to the World Day of Telecommunications and the Information Society."Today, in Romania, we have over 4,300 5G base stations, which belong to the four big operators and which operate in the frequency bands of 2.1 Mhz, 2.6 Mhz and in the bands 3.4 and 3.8. ...) 4G technology is predominant in Romania, but there is no demand for 5G technology yet, even if we have the impression that Romania is somewhere up there. (...) We have hope, from the dialogue we had with the operators, that there will be a robust increase in the next period of the transition rate from 4G to 5G," Zgonea said."The essential pillar for the digitization of a society includes the integration of technologies in all aspects of our economic, social life, an increase in operational efficiency through automation, obtaining competitive advantages through innovation and through adaptability. As you know, two years ago, the authority made an auction to provide the operators with spectrum for 5G dedicated to these new technologies that are coming to Romania today. Now, the operators benefit from a much larger and more diverse amount of spectrum and we hope that, in a fairly short period of time, to be able to achieve the goals we have established," Valeriu Zgonea added.
