Italian telecom operator Telecom Italia Mobile intends to use San Marino as a testing ground for new technology. Thus, during 2017 Telecom Italia will prepare in San Marino the basic infrastructure for the transition to 5G.

The company also conducts tests in the Italian cities of Milan and Turin, but San Marino has fewer regulatory restrictions on the use of radio frequencies than in Italy, expands the company's capabilities.

According to the technical director of Telecom Italia Giovanni Ferigo, Europe played a major role in the development of 2G technology, but then lost to the Asian countries in the case of 3G and the US - with 4G.

"Together with 5G, we intend to restore Europe's leadership in creating standards," he said..

Mobile operators are testing 5G technologies around the world, the most active companies are in South Korea, China and the United States.
