MTS has improved communication on the highway Kostroma — Sharya

MTS pumped the telecommunications network along the highway Kostroma — Sharya, which is part of the Federal highway R-243 “Kostroma — Sharya — Kirov — Perm”. As a result of the work, the quality of mobile communication has improved over 150 kilometers of the route. Thanks to the installation of new base stations, voice and digital services have become available along the road for travelers and residents of small settlements.

MTS specialists improved coverage in the villages of Puzyri, Afanasyevo, Savino, Trenino, Znamenka, Nikulino and the village of Rubtsovo. In most of these settlements there are LTE 900 base stations, and in Nikulino communication is provided by the LTE 1800 base station of domestic production IRTEIA.

The LTE 900 range provides coverage over considerable distances, which is especially important along roads and in rural areas where communities are far apart. With LTE 1800, more people can use the network at the same time.

The Kostroma-Sharya highway plays an important role in the transport and economic relations of the region. More than 15,000 cars pass through it every day. It is noteworthy that more than half of the total flow are heavy trucks and trucks, since the route has become a key logistics corridor connecting the Center of Russia, the Volga region, the Urals and Siberia.

“The development of mobile communications on highways and in small towns is an important part of our work in the region. For motorists, this is an opportunity to use navigation and stay connected on the road, and for residents of rural areas to access modern digital services and online services. We are consistently developing the network so that high-quality communication is available not only in large cities, but also on regional transport routes, said Ramil Musayev, Director of MTS in the Kostroma region.
