A Life / / December 19, 2019
At yesterday's press conference in RIA Novosti Yota CEO Denis Sverdlov said, that the litigation over illegally confiscated from the company's frequency will not affect the launch date LTE. As planned, the network launched in Kazan will be the first for this year are also planned to launch the network in 4 other cities, of which are named Novosibirsk and Samara. The following year, the company aims to cover about 30 cities.
Why is the scandal of frequencies does not affect the operation of the network? Yota said that no cause for concern because the company originally claimed to be in the range of 40 MHz, the frequency received, and they nobody attempts. New LTE-network will just run on time, on the 40 MHz.
Those additional 30 megahertz, are the subject of dispute, the company needs to align the frequency spectrum in different cities and the provision of additional services. Additional services as long as the company keeps a secret, but many agree that it is a voice services, because on the basis of LTE has been developed (awaiting approval) standard, which replaces the already incredibly outdated 2G- voice communication. Same standard 40 MHz may be sufficient for very fast Internet, but modern user already, and it is not enough.
Innovative company has been repeatedly put spokes in the wheel. After Whit just one year achieved a stunning, totally unpredictable success (600 thousands of subscribers in 5 cities) there was a real danger of becoming like her fourth federal operator.
After all, on the basis of LTE operators in Europe and the United States plan to run voice network instead of outdated 2G, and leading the players of the mobile market will not miss the opportunity to provide mobile devices with support for this standard.
As a result, regarding the Roskomnadzor Iota behaves as though every day it employs different people make different decisions. July 27 and
August 2 were invalidated the decision to grant the same frequencies Roskomnadzor for Iota. This is not the first cancellation of their own actions on the part of Roskomnadzor. First it was declared a ban on the use frequencies of the same range of the two different technologies (from the same company), he then was canceled, then were given frequencies, these frequencies are now taken away... It is not clear what the next step in this spread opinions.
Iota thus will still launch LTE in Kazan, and cover both LTE internet-capital promises in the next year.
