To operators it is neutral. The companies do not hurry to start LTE at frequencies of 2G


the "Kommersant" found out, what companies showed willingness to build the LTE networks in the GSM range of 1800 MHz

"Kommersant" found out, what companies showed willingness to build the LTE networks in the GSM range of 1800 MHz (2G). Later half a year after the State Commission on Radio Frequencies  (GKRCh) resolved a technological neutrality, the Roskomnadzor networks 4G notified on plans to build MTS, subsidiaries of "MegaFon", "Tattelekom", regional group "Motiv", and also SMARTS. JSC T2 RTK Holding (Tele2 brand), is most active achieving such opportunity, among them is not present.
GKRCh allowed to use strips of frequencies of 1710-1785 and 1805-1880 MHz for development of the LTE standard in the middle of December, 2013. Then it was solved: the company which is making out such permission receives encumbrance – in three years it has to construct a network in all settlements of the region from more than 10 thousand inhabitants. As told "Kommersant" in Roskomnadzor, the licenses GSM-1800 for development  of LTE renewed five companies – MTS in Krasnodar Krai, "SMARTS Kazan" ("daughter" of "Tattelekom") in Tatarstan, "SMARTS Volgograd" ("daughter" of "MegaFon") in the Volgograd region, "Yekaterinburg-2000" (enters into Motiv group) in Khanty-Mansiysk and Yamal-Nenets autonomous areas, Kurgan  and Sverdlovsk areas, SMARTS in the Samara region.  Any company did not receive  frequency assignments, that is networks are not started yet.
As the press secretary of Motiv group Alyona Yarushina told, the company filed  documents on registration of frequency assignments and plans to begin tests of a network 4G in August. Until the end of the year the group intends to start commercial networks 4G in Yekaterinburg, Nizhni Tagil, Kurgan, Surgut and several more large cities. Investments into development of a network do not reveal.
SMARTS will start construction 4G in the second half of year, the head of board of directors Gennady Kiryushin transferred through the press service.  He estimated  investments into the organization  of a network in the Samara region at 1,2 billion rubles. The company also studies  a question of start of LTE in the Astrakhan and Penza areas.
MTS plans to use the range of 1800 MHz in Krasnodar Krai on an equal basis with other frequencies for development of the LTE Advanced technology (to 300 Mbps). Until recently in the region the moratorium on construction of the LTE networks worked: until the end of 2016 general partners of the Sochi Olympic Games – "MegaFon" and "Rostelecom" had exclusive rights on it. But in April of GKRCh decided to postpone embargo date for December 31, 2014. MTS plans to start LTE in Krasnodar Krai at the beginning of 2015, investments in 4G in the region by the end of the next  year will make more than 2 billion rubles.
In "MegaFon" explained use of the 1800th range with load of the frequencies  which are initially allocated under 4G. "In the Russian Federation a situation in the traditional ranges for LTE the very difficult. Volgograd is indicative in this question as there the strip  of 800 MHz is occupied by military, and 2,6 GHz – MMDS systems (TV-technology. – To "Kommersant")", – speak in the press service of the company. It was not succeeded to receive the comment of "Tattelekom". But earlier in the company claimed that plan to start 4G in Tatarstan  by the end of the year. Investments had to make about 1,5 billion rubles.
In the list renewed licenses there are no two large operators – "Vympelcom"  and "T2 PTK Holding". The last some years achieved permission to use  the frequencies which are available for it under LTE, and recently received mobile assets of "Rostelecom". The representative of "T2 PTK of Holding" Konstantin Prokshin declared that the company will build networks 4G both at frequencies of 2,6 GHz, and on 1800 MHz. "The first option provides the best capacity of a network in the large cities, the second – a cheap and effective way of construction of the LTE networks with a good covering", – he noted. While the operator intends to develop the networks 3G received at integration of mobile assets of "Rostelecom". "Vympelcom" plans to involve  a resource of 1800 MHz under LTE, told in the company, without having specified a detail.
Remained SMARTS without general director
The general director of Volga region mobile network operator SMARTS Alexander Kurochkin left on June 1 the company, told "Kommersant" the manager, without having specified the reason.  The son of the founder and the chairman of the board of directors  of SMARTS Gennady Kiryushin Konstantin  is appointed  the acting as. In SMARTS refused to make comments on personnel shifts. Alexander Kurochkin came to the company in 2011 to a position of the director of the Samara branch, in October of the same year became executive, and in February, 2012 the CEO.
