5G development on a roll in Cambodia

Concept of future technology 5G network wireless network that will control everything through electronic devices or have a short name called Internet of Things or IOT.

The Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications said that commercial 5G development in Cambodia is on a roll as the ministry works to compile provisions to regulate the sector.

Chea Vandeth, the minister of Posts and Telecommunications, said that the telecom firms have collaborated on developing the 5G technology alongside Chinese companies with several pilot trials having been conducted so far.

“We are in the study stage now as we seek more understanding,” the minister said, adding that the ministry is discussing the provisions for infrastructure that will be needed for the latest generation technology.

The Ministry is working on a policy that will allow all operators to have the required 100 MHz spectrum to run on the 5G network.

As the necessity for continuous connectivity increases, 5G is seen as the answer to meeting this demand by creating a fast, purpose-built network tailored to serve the needs of both citizens and the economy.

5G will provide vast benefits to both society and the economy but its full potential cannot be realised without the active participation of government and regulatory authorities.

5G is the fifth generation technology standard for broadband cellular networks, which cellular phone companies began deploying worldwide in 2019.

It is the planned successor to the 4G networks that provide connectivity to most current cellphones.[2]5G networks are predicted to have more than 1.7 billion subscribers worldwide by 2025. Khmer Times
