What's happening
In 2018 "Beeline"Launched a large-scale program of technological modernization: all the Moscow station to the new equipment goes mobile communication operator. This reconstruction has become the most ambitious in the history of the company.
Now the "Beeline" updates the base stations in all districts of Moscow. Call quality is not affected: the new equipment is connected on a night when the network load is minimal. Reconstruction takes place in stages: each successive segment of the network is updated only after you have finished the previous one.
How to change the communication quality after reconstruction
Significantly increase the speed of mobile internet
In the course of modernization of the base stations' Biline "operating in frequency bands 1800, 2100 and 2600 MHz, to be activated 4 x 4 MIMO mode. On the transceiver will be used several antennas, four for receiving and transmitting the signal. This solution will improve the quality of the coating and increase the data rate. Mobile Internet It will be three times faster.
New equipment base stations supporting LTE Advanced and LTE Advanced Pro technology. They allow you to increase the data transfer rate up to 1 Gbit / s.
Communication becomes more stable
In the next five years "Beeline" will increase the number of base stations in Moscow at 60%. The new stations will be in areas with high traffic, so that even in the most congested areas the connection was confident.
The network can support millions of Internet of Things devices
All new Moscow base stations "Beeline" support NB-IoT technology. After the completion of the reconstruction of the network operator will be ready to work with tens of millions of smart devices.
The network will be able to go to 5G
After upgrading the base stations "Beeline" will finalize the infrastructure to prepare for the introduction of 5G. According to Director General of PJSC "VimpelCom" Latsanych, pilot 5G band to appear in the capital before the end of 2019.
What is 5G
5G - a modern mobile communication standard, which in the future will replace the currently widespread 3G and 4G.
Here are the key features of the fifth generation of mobile communication:
- Using the new ranges. Daylight high frequency bands allows greater data transfer rate and a high capacity network. The standard rate can reach 5GWhat Is 5G, and How Fast Will It Be? 10 Gbit / s - a two-hour movie can be downloaded in 3.6 seconds.
- Slaysing. The network is divided into virtual "layers" that operate independently, without losing the data transmission rate. The introduction of the new standard will push the development of the Internet of things: the smart device will have a stable and uninterrupted access to the network.
- Massive MIMO. In an increasing number of base stations and reception of transmit antennas to reduce interference and increase the quality of the coating. "Beeline" activates this technology in the stations, which are located in areas with high traffic levels.
When you are finished upgrading
Now the operation of the base stations are made for the reconstruction of 85%. "Beeline" plans to complete the upgrade by September. By 2020, the mobile operator network will be ready for the transition to 5G standard.
