AEC has allocated the radiofrequencies for the 700MHz and 3.6GHz radio bands and, from now on, the users of Telekom’s 5G services in all larger cities throughout the country will have gigabyte speeds.

Telekom’s 5G network is already available in 16 towns and their regions and, as of today, the company will start enabling gigabyte speeds also in the centre of Skopje, which will be followed by the central regions of Bitola, Prilep, Ohrid, Struga, Tetovo, Gostivar, Stip, Strumica and, by the end of September, Kumanovo and Kicevo as well. Makedonski Telekom continues expanding the latest generation network and by the end of this year 26 towns will be covered with a technology from the fifth generation.

The first 5G network in Macedonia started with commercial operation in February of this year, with an advanced technology for a dynamic usage of the existing radiofrequencies, in parallel and in combination with 4G. By allocating the 5G radiofrequencies, this technology will achieve its full potential and enable speeds ten times higher than the previous ones, thereby providing unprecedented services and products.

“By means of large investments and hands-on dedication since 2018, which marked the beginning of our 5G story, we have made sure that the latest generation technology is available for our customers. Today, with the allocation of the radiofrequencies by the Agency for Electronic Communications, we are bringing the superiority of the latest technology - gigabyte speeds. The use of the latest generation infrastructure and technology is for the benefit of the entire society, above all the customers. Therefore, we highly appreciate AEC’s decision to allocate the 5G radiofrequencies to us.” - said Mr. Nikola Ljushev, Chief Executive Officer of Makedonski Telekom.

Almost all devices from the Telekom portfolio have been 5G certified, and the 5G services with the tariffs are available on the following link.

The great speeds and capacities of the new 5G network will revolutionize the customer experience by ensuring faster-than-light sharing of contents and a low latency in communication. This technology will be the driving force for the development of new features that will make our life simpler and better in all spheres.
