the Operator MTS announced the permit of the State Commission on radio frequencies to use UMTS 900. For the allocation of frequencies the company will pay 8.7 million Euro. As noted in the MTS, the deployment of 3G network in the 900 MHz range will cover sustainable communication in rural area and hard to reach areas.

"the Equipment of UMTS-900 has a much greater range compared to 3G base stations operating in the 2100 MHz frequency band. Translation of existing base stations to work in UMTS-900 allows to cover a confident 3G connection not only villages and townships, and highways, farms, agricultural properties and so on. In addition, the signal is better distributed through the forests and other types of natural landscape due to the smaller attenuation", — explained in MTS.

the company noted that due to the low frequency of UMTS 900 provides a signal penetration inside buildings. This is especially true for cities with dense and high buildings that hamper the passage of radio waves.

representatives of the operator assured that using UMTS 900 can "promptly bring the territory of 3G coverage to 2G levels".
