Comparative Analysis of 5G/IMT-2020 Communications Networks, Wireless Technologies and Quantum Technologies

The Concept for Creation and Development of 5G/IMT-2020 Networks in the Russian Federation was approved by order of the Ministry of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Media of the Russian Federation No. 923 dated December 27, 2019, according to which 5G/IMT-2020 is a “new communication standard, and the evolution of mobile network technology, as well as a new paradigm of telecommunication services and information technologies”. Development 5G/IMT-2020 networks allows to further introduce information and communication technologies into the conventional industries and the national economy. Testing of 5G/IMT-2020 communication network usage scenarios will be carried out within pilot areas according to the campaign “04.01.011.003.003 Implementation of pilot area projects for 5G/IMT-2020 networks” of the “Information Infrastructure” federal program. A number of campaigns for the implementation of 5G/IMT-2020 networks will be “included in the roadmap for the development of `Wireless Technologies' end-to-end digital technology as a part of `Digital Technologies' federal project”. According to the Roadmap for the development of “Quantum Technologies” end-to-end digital technology, the growth of quantum technology in 2020 will reach a data volume of 40 zettabytes (i.e., a 50-fold increase compared to 2010). While the following level of quantum sensing technology readiness is assessed: in the Russian Federation - TRL 1-5, and globally - TRL 3 -.
