In St. Petersburg earned new Internet stations in four residential quarters

The mobile operator has expanded telecom infrastructure in Pushkin, Strelna, Pargolovo and Vyborg district. New base stations have boosted mobile internet and voice connectivity for around 4,000 apartments.

According to the press service of MegaFon, the daily audience of the network in these locations exceeds 50 thousand users.

When erecting equipment, engineers took into account the specifics of modern dense construction. Since the massive walls of high-rise buildings block the signal, and the mass use of services creates a high load, experts used several frequency bands. One part is responsible for wide coverage of the territory, the other for high-speed data transmission.

The daily traffic volume in the new zones reaches 6.5 TB. The share of residents of the Northern capital is 87% of all Internet traffic in these areas.

According to Denis Trofimchuk, director of the company in St. Petersburg and the Leningrad region, when developing new residential areas, it is necessary to prepare the communication infrastructure in advance so that it is ready to work by the time the houses are settled.
