Ulaanbaatar, February 11, 2025 /MONTSAME/. The Ministry of Digital Development, Innovation, and Communications of Mongolia is preparing to introduce a 5G network nationwide, with competitive bidding to begin in March 2025.
The internet capacity of soums in Mongolia is set to increase tenfold. This enables the accessibility of all modern digital services and allows students to study on all digital platforms and learn foreign languages. The increased internet capacity will also provide swift accessibility for medical services.
Minister of Digital Development, Innovation, and Communications of Mongolia Baatarkhuu Tsend noted, “With the implementation of the 5G network, we can discuss the introduction of self-driving vehicles and automation technology in the manufacturing sector. Also, households would no longer need to submit their electricity and water meters manually, instead, it can be fully automated and more accurate.”
Mongolia has 53 thousand kilometers of fiber optic cables throughout the cities and soums, which means 23 percent of the country’s territory has internet access.
