OREANDA-NEWS. Tele2, an alternative mobile operator, has launched the 3G network in commercial operation. Starting from 18 December the company’s subscribers in Tambov Region may use high-speed wireless Internet at affordable prices.

Tambov is the fifth Tele2 region where the operator started providing high-speed wireless Internet. The 3G networks under Tele2 brand were earlier launched this year in St. Petersburg, Novosibirsk and Chelyabinsk. The first Tele2’s 4G network came into operation on 17 December 2014 in Tula.

Tele2 currently provides a stable coverage of the 3G network in Tambov, Michurinsk, Kirsanov, Kotovsk and a number of residential areas in Tambov Region. In the coming months the operator is planning to increase the number of 3G base stations by 30% and improve opportunities of the backhaul in order to expand the network coverage and guarantee the high quality of mobile services during load hikes.

Tele2 is offering three new package tariffs to its users of high-speed wireless Internet – “Black”, “Dark Black” and “The Blackest”. Tariffs differ in volume of included Internet traffic (300 MB, 1 GB and 3 GB per month at 3G speeds), a number of minutes and SMS. All packages are easy-to-use, contain no hidden conditions and let Tele2 subscriber use modern services at affordable prices.

Tele2 envisaged different options for subscribers who want to use high-speed wireless Internet but prefer their current tariff. For example, “The Internet package” monthly offers 3 GB for 200 rubles per month whereas “The Internet portfolio” implies 10 GB for 350 rubles per month.

Jere Calmes, Deputy CEO at Tele2:

“A launch of high-speed wireless Internet became possible thanks to formation of a new federal operator, which resulted from Tele2 and Rostelecom mobile assets integration. First results of 3G networks operations showed that our forecasts on data boosting sales were correct. Today mobile Internet drives all operators’ revenues. Now we are happy to offer our Tambov subscribers to enjoy higher speeds. In 2015, this opportunity will be available to our clients in over 50 regions of the country.”
