Russia will be left without 6G technology: "Skolekovo" got under US sanctions
In the comments of the publication, experts noted that the first would start to experience problems such as Telecom. They emphasized that the development of special equipment operating due to the open architecture of Openran, and the introduction of 6G technology in Russia can be suspended indefinitely. The fact is that the development of telecom technologies is responsible for "Skoltech", which was on the sanction list. In all three companies, the news was not commented.
Openran architecture is extremely important because it makes it possible to simultaneously use components and technological solutions from different suppliers. With the departure from the Russian market, such companies as Huawei, ZTE, Ericsson, Nokia, which accounted for 95% of Telecom equipment supply, the work of Skoletech was much more complicated. Now she can stop at all.
The Pen & Paper Board Representative stated that Russian companies will not only be deprived of access to technologies and devices, but will not be able to make purchases in US dollars, which, for their part, would make them switch to other counterparties and use other logistics chains. Despite the fact that the architecture of Openran is positioned as open - that is, one that is in the open access, some operations require the conclusion of licensing agreements.
But, under sanctions, Russian companies will not be able to conclude them, as none of the potential partners want to risk, explained in Pen & Paper. The speakers added that, most likely, "Skoltech" would be excluded from the Alliance O-Ran, which will close access to both architecture and work and partner companies.
As for the introduction of the sixth -generation, 6G communication, here, without the help of the world community, too, as frequencies and standards need to be coordinated with many countries. It is impossible to take 6G in Russia without the knowledge of the neighboring countries. In addition, the source that wished to remain anonymous said that it is unable to construct and launch the necessary equipment on its own (like any other country)-a cooperation is needed here.
In the Russian company Zelax, which produces Telecom equipment, the media said that some components were purchased abroad, and now it would be problematic to get them. However, ZLAX hopes to find ways to circumvent restrictions, although they recognize that more resources and finances will be needed. Earlier, we reported that in Russia they are trying to save mobile connection against the backdrop of a shortage of telecom equipment.
