Mongolia is home to four MNOs – G-Mobile, MobiCom (KDDI), SKYtel and Unitel – and 4.4mn mobile connections with a population of 3.2mn. Almost half of Mongolia’s population is located in the capital Ulaanbaatar, which homes 1.45 million people and the majority of the telecom infrastructure.
Following the separation of the telecom and infrastructure businesses in 2013, a few infrastructure providers now run towers, active equipment, fibre and microwave backhaul across the 1.5mn sq km Mongolian landscape.
There are approximately 1,000 towers in the country, and more than half are shared between the operators.
In March 2021, MobiCom began 5G trials, but no spectrum has been allocated in the country.
