Telecommunications network technology has entered the fifth generation or often called 5G NR. The availability of 5G NR network services is expected to be a solution to improve the quality of telecommunication networks in Malang City. The research discusses the planning of the 5G NR network in the city of Malang. A 5G network at a frequency of 28 GHz and a bandwidth of 100 MHz is simulated with the Atoll software. 5G network planning is done by calculating the need for gNodeB in the city of Malang.
