Boost in mobile internet usage by 10% observed in Yakutsk
In the heart of Siberia, Yakutsk, a city located within continuous permafrost zones, has seen significant improvements in its mobile network coverage and speed over the past year, thanks to Megafon's efforts.
Megafon, the telecommunications provider in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), has been actively modernizing its network infrastructure in Yakutsk. This has resulted in the installation of new base stations, such as the one near the Roman Dmitriyev embankment, and the modernization of existing ones.
These upgrades have led to a significant increase in the network capacity of the new base stations. As a result, internet speeds in the location can now reach up to 60-80 Mbps, with periods of minimum load seeing speeds of up to 90-105 Mbps.
The modernization work has been carried out in various locations across Yakutsk, including the city center, parks, stores, educational and medical institutions, residential buildings, garden cooperatives, major highways, and public transport stops. This extensive coverage ensures that more than six thousand people living in the surrounding villages also benefit from these improvements.
The use of smartphones and other gadgets has become more comfortable due to these improvements, with calls and mobile internet services showing improved quality. Moreover, the frequencies of the old generation have been transferred to the modern standard, ensuring a smoother and more efficient network.
Megafon engineers have also added additional 4G layers depending on the tasks, with mid-frequency and high-frequency LTE layers being added to the new base station. These adaptations aim to overcome geographic and climatic challenges, providing more reliable high-speed mobile internet to both residential users and businesses.
