In an interview with RBC, Khachatur Pombukhchan said that MegaFon's reserves of telecommunications equipment and existing technical expertise will allow the operator to operate for the next 5-7 years without deteriorating the quality of services.
He also added that the company belize cell phone number list
has not yet recorded a negative impact on the quality of communications due to the departure of foreign telecom equipment vendors. "Let's look at the numbers: MegaFon's average mobile Internet speed in the third quarter of last year was 22.1 Mbit/s, which was 1.4 times higher than any of our competitors. In the third quarter of this year, it was 25.3 Mbit/s. The indicator is improving," he said. In addition, Pombukhchan recalled that MegaFon is a federal operator of VoLTE, a technology that allows calls in LTE networks, and since September of this year, also a federal operator of VoWiFi (allowing calls to be made by connecting to Wi-Fi networks). "That is, subscribers can use Wi-Fi networks both in Russia and in roaming to make calls where there is insufficient cellular signal," Pombukhchan said.
of consumption of regular voice communications has been decreasing, as people are abandoning regular calls in favor of calls via messengers. In this case, the consumption of data transmission is growing. "This trend has not changed this year. The volume of consumption, data transmission will grow by 20% - about the same as it grew a year earlier," says the head of MegaFon.
At the same time, MegaFon has already begun testing Russian telecommunications equipment. However, "this equipment is still at the beginning of its journey," Pombukhchan noted. According to his estimates, it will take about two to three years to develop high-quality domestic LTE equipment that will cover the current needs of operators and subscribers.
In June, Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin ordered the creation of industrial competence centers that should determine the areas, types and classes of software, as well as equipment that need to be replaced; which products need to be developed first; and also influence the distribution of state support. As part of the work of these centers, Rostelecom concluded a forward contract with the Russian manufacturer of equipment for fiber-optic communication networks, T8, at the end of October (involves the delivery of goods of the agreed quality and quantity on a certain date in the future). At the same time, it was noted that by the end of the year, Rostelecom, together with its subsidiary T2 RTK Holding (provides services under the Tele2 brand), are preparing to conclude several more similar contracts with domestic vendors. The total value of the contracts may amount to 20-25 billion rubles.
