The slowdown in mobile internet speeds in Russia has already begun, TelecomDaily reported earlier. They specified that from November 2021 to mid-March 2022, it dropped from 21.7 Mbit/s to about 21 Mbit/s. By the end of this year, compared to March, the average speed could drop by another 1 Mbit/s, according to the company's analysts. The accumulated equipment stockpiles by operators have allowed operators to avoid a sharp drop, said TelecomDaily CEO Denis Kuskov. But the shortage of frequencies combined with the growth in mobile internet consumption does indeed lead to a decrease in its speed, he agrees.
The introduction of 5G could croatia cell phone number list relieve the load on LTE networks in the Russian Federation, but there is no domestic equipment for it yet and frequencies have not been allocated, the expert recalled.
network capacity as traffic grows required operators to use more base stations - this requires additional costs, noted Tele2 representative Daria Kolesnikova.
However, frequency resource restrictions are only relevant for some cities with a population of over a million, the Ministry of Digital Development claims.
— Operators are freeing up 3G network range for LTE. There are tools for sharing radio frequency spectrum, which allow it to be used more effectively in specific locations, — the department named ways to solve the problem.
Acceptable range
Given the growth of mobile Internet traffic and the lack of domestic equipment, operators will inevitably approach the limits of network capacity, Megafon predicted. This moment can be postponed if operators have the opportunity to fully use the already allocated frequency bands, the company believes.
"Currently, many of them, especially low ranges, are limited, since they are not designed for civilian use. Removing the restrictions will allow us to significantly expand the capacity of the mobile network," Megafon explained.
