The Russian armed forces are using the 3.5 GHz frequency for its radars in Kaliningrad and the signal seeps into parts of Lithuanian territory, affecting the frequency needed to ensure effective coverage in more densely populated areas as Lithuania rolls out its 5G infrastructure
Although Lithuania’s Communications Regulatory Authority (RRT) has reached a deal with Russia on removing TV television programmes from the 700 MHz band, Russia refuses to free up the 3.5 GHz band, the

“We aren’t negotiating with Russia.

Lithuania has ended direct talks with Russia without reaching a deal on radio frequency used by its military, which remains an obstacle to the country’s 5G development.
The Russian armed forces are using the 3.5 GHz frequency for its radars in Kaliningrad and the signal seeps into parts of Lithuanian territory. Vilnius has been calling on Russia to free up the frequency, which is needed to ensure effective coverage in more densely populated areas as Lithuania rolls out its 5G infrastructure.
