Norilsk Nickel plans own private 5G network without telecoms operator

Russian metallurgy company Norilsk Nickel is considering applying for a licence to use 5G frequencies, reports Comnews.ru citing CEO Alexander Kudinov. It plans to deploy a private 5G network on its own, without cooperating with any telecommunications operator.

Norilsk Nickel is interested in working with equipment vendors directly. The idea of deploying a 5G network independently is based on security rather than economic issues.
