Embrace 4G and 5G

In a press release, Crnogorski Telekom said the development of new technologies in the world of telecommunications, evidenced by the expansion of 5G and 4G networks, represents a turning point. These advanced networks have led to unprecedented acceleration in data transmission and enabled the development and use of technologically advanced applications such as virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR), 4K streaming, and smart solutions in homes and cities.

CT pointed out that the 3G network is technologically outdated, lagging behind 4G and 5G technology, and cannot be compared to the new networks developed in Montenegro.

Global Technology Trend

“We want to remind you that the gradual shutdown of our 3G network, which we announced last year, will be fully completed in the next two weeks. Telekom’s 3G network will be officially shut down from January 22, and the spectrum, resources, and attention will be fully focused on the development of 5G and 4G technology,” announced Crnogorski Telekom.

“The decision to shut down the 3G network,” Telekom emphasised, “is in line with the global trend of phasing out 3G technology, led by technologically advanced countries such as Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan, and Germany. At Telekom, we are proud to be among the global telecommunications leaders who have created the conditions for a complete transition to the network of the future.”
