  • Press Release Beeline Launches LTE-700 in Kazakhstan
    TOO KaR-Tel» Phone Fax Kazakhstan Almaty Koktem-2, Bdg.22 +7 7272 50 16 16 +7 7272 50 16 15 Press Release Beeline launches LTE-700 in Kazakhstan Almaty, Kazakhstan, October 19, 2010. - "KaR-Tel", a company with limited liability, part of the Vimpelcom Ltd group, which offers communications services in Kazakhstan under the Beeline brand, announced a pilot launch of outdoor LTE-based 4G network, the first in the post-Soviet territory. The network will operate in the 700 MHz band (band 13, according to 3GPP specifications) in the city of Almaty, business capital of Kazakhstan. Equipment for the network has been delivered by Alcatel-Lucent (Euronext Paris and NYSE: ALU). The new LTE network covers the central districts of Almaty. The capabilities of the new network can be tested on the board of the so-called "LTE-mobile", a high-tech mobile laboratory filled with all necessary equipment. The Beeline LTE network can - in real conditions - ensure maximum download rate of 60 Mbps and maximum upload rate of 15 Mbps. Average data rates per subscriber will equal 8-10 Mbps (DL) and 2-4 Mbps (UL). LTE is the main road for further evolution of 2G and 3G mobile networks. It provides additional capabilities both for service providers who can maximize hardware performance, coverage and, consequently, user experience, and for end-users who will get next-generation services, high- speed mobile Internet access, as well as seamless operation and instant reaction of multimedia applications, personal media services, etc. "LTE is, first of all, high speed, and we are happy that Vimpelcom's business in Kazakhstan is developing at 4G speed in line with worldwide telecommunication trends.
