NPK Kryptonite (part of X-Holding) carried out research work for Spectre (part of Rostec) to create a project to launch serial production of 5G base stations. Kryptonite prepared technical specifications for the development of the base station core, radio parts and process card of the product line. On the basis of these results, Spectre plans to place orders for the development of 5G base station components.

Rostec intends to invest 4.4 billion rubles in research and development in this area, and commercial production may begin in 2024. According to the sources of Kommersant, Spectre will develop Open Radio Access Network (OpenRAN) equipment.

Skoltech is also developing OpenRAN for 5G networks. In November 2021, MTS tested 5G OpenRAN equipment using the software developed by Skoltech.
