MTS and VimpelCom to Increase Mobile Internet Speeds
OREANDA-NEWS. Mobile TeleSystems PJSC and VimpelCom PJSC (the Beeline brand) announce the expansion of their far-reaching partnership to jointly construct and utilize LTE networks in Russia. The Companies have agreed to share LTE spectrum in the 2600 MHz range in 20 Russian regions beginning in 2016. Spectrum sharing will allow operators to double data transfer speeds available to the subscribers at peak speeds of 150 Mb/s.
MTS and VimpelCom have signed an addendum to their agreement on joint planning, development and usage of LTE networks, which they signed in 2014. Both companies plan to start utilizing the 10 MHz bandwidth each of the operator owns in 20 Russian regions upon obtaining all required permissions in the second half of 2016.
These regions include: Vologda region, Kaliningrad region, Kaluga region, Murmansk region, Nizhny Novgorod region, Omsk region, Orenburg region, Orel region, Pskov region, Sakhalin region, Tula region, Yaroslavl region, Altai Republic, Kabardino-Balkar Republic, Karachay-Cherkess Republic, Chechen Republic, Ingush Republic, the Republic of Mordovia, Chuvash Republic, and Khabarovsk Krai.
In these regions, shared spectrum of 20 MHz will be utilized by each base station that is jointly operated by MTS and VimpelCom. The addendum expires at the end of 2021 and can be extended and expanded to cover more regions.
On December 19, 2014, MTS and VimpelCom announced the signing of a partnership agreement to jointly plan, develop and use LTE networks in Russia. Under the agreement, in 2014 - 2016, MTS is developing shared mobile data networks in 19 regions in Russia, while VimpelCom is constructing networks in 17 regions. Under the agreement, operators are sharing base stations, sites, transport networks and other infrastructure in 36 regions. The agreement was signed for a period of seven years and can be extended.

During 2015, jointly operated LTE networks have been launched in 31 regions.
