Reduction of costs for the 5G network is expected - MIE approves the directive

The Ministry of Infrastructure and Energy has approved a new directive aimed at facilitating and accelerating the development of high-speed electronic communications networks and 5G networks. This guidance, based on a common EU Toolbox, aims to reduce the costs of deploying networks and foster a more investment-friendly environment.

The goals of this directive are to reduce the costs of building high-speed networks, facilitate the procedures for granting permits for the construction of new networks, and encourage investments in the 5G network by creating a more favorable environment for technological development.

The Ministry will cooperate with AKEP to develop practices in accordance with EU recommendations. By the end of 2025, a Toolbox adapted to Albania's needs is expected to be drawn up, which will help accelerate the development of the digital infrastructure.

To ensure transparency, a single information point will be created, where operators will be able to access the necessary data for existing infrastructure. This will simplify the permit application process and improve coordination between public institutions and operators.

At the end of November 2024, the Electronic and Postal Communications Authority (AKEP) granted authorization for the use of frequencies in the 3.5 GHz band by Vodafone and One Albania, paving the way for the implementation of 5G technology in our country.

According to the terms of the authorization, the two operators are obliged, through these frequencies, to cover with service 55% of the population by the end of 2027 and 85% of the population by the end of 2030.

By 2025, entrepreneurs must ensure coverage of ports, airports and several other areas of socio-economic importance, while priority in terms of coverage will also be given to areas of special importance, including tourist areas, national parks, roads, highways and tunnels, and areas involved in various development projects.
