Russian company to develop its own chip for mobile base stations
Development is already under way, with the chip expected to be ready within three to five years.
Russian hardware company Yadro plans to develop its own chip for mobile network base stations by 2028–2031.
According to Artem Ikoev, deputy chief executive for technology at IKS Holding, this direction is essential for technological competitiveness, as current and future generations of mobile communications, including 6G, are becoming increasingly dependent on proprietary components.
Work on the chip is already in progress, with engineers currently focused on achieving initial performance targets in the first prototypes.
Focus on domestic production
Earlier, the company reported that Yadro’s plant in Dubna had launched its first mass production of operator-grade mobile base stations.
By the end of the year, operators Beeline, MegaFon, and T2 are set to receive around 3,000 units of mobile communications and internet equipment. In total, 75,000 base stations need to be produced and deployed by 2030 to equip Russia’s telecommunications infrastructure with domestically made hardware.
