MTS continues to divide 3G networks and frequency transfer to the 4G (LTE) standard. In June and July, the third generation connection will stop working in nine cities, including the seven regions of Russia, Adgigiga, Bashkortostan and Tatarstan, as well as Altai and Krasnodar Region, Vladimir and Novosibirsk. Company representatives, at the end of 2025 at the end of the country’s 3G base stations are planned to cut at least half, he said. This transition will increase the data transfer rate and expand access to Volte technology that provides high quality sound communication.
This week, 3G networks have been connected in various cities such as Berdsk, Barabinsk and Neftekamsk. In mid -June, the closure of Novoaltaysk, Suzdal and Labinsk is planned to be completed. Until the end of July, changes will be affected by Maykop and Primorsko-Akhtarsk. Similar closures have already taken place in April and this year in Revd, Sayanogorsk and Usol-Sibirsky. Thanks to a predetermined strategy for subscribers to be informed in advance, the transition to new standards as smooth as possible.
MTS has already accumulated the successful experience of such pilot projects that started in 2023. The first closure and Uglich in the Leningrad area showed that the share of old devices between subscribers is minimal and that the network update was almost invisible for users. The company plans to use this experience to scale the process in other regions, improves communication quality and increases the efficiency of the network.
