{{quote 'author=said Alexey Krushinin, technical director of the Moscow macroregion Tele2. | Building structures often prevent the transmission of a radio signal from outdoor base stations, and additional antenna-feeder systems are required to ensure good communication quality in the premises. At the construction stage, employees of operators draw up a design project based on 3D models of future coverage, identifying the required number and places of installation of telecom infrastructure elements. Cooperation between operators and developers makes it possible to timely connect indoor equipment and thereby provide a stable signal and stable Internet to the first visitors to district centers,}}
According to the plan, the project for the construction of district centers in Moscow is planned to be completed by 2026 - by this time it is planned to open another twenty-four "Meeting Places." By the end of 2023, it is planned to open the district centers "Pervomaisky," "Planet," "Star," "Solntsevo," "Prague," "Vityaz," "Almaz," "Patriot," "Baku" and "Orion." Tele2 communication will be present at all points, for this the operator is actively working on the timely installation of the necessary equipment. In total, Tele2 will cover more than 510,000 square meters of the area of district centers, including about 130,000 square meters of the underground part of buildings, including parking.
Optimizing Existing Infrastructure
Provider Tele2 On March 27, 2023, he announced that he had optimized the operation of the existing infrastructure by increasing the height of the antenna suspension by an average of 16 meters. As of March 2023, the project covers more than 1000 infrastructure facilities. Tele2 technicians identified locations with the potential to expand coverage: a twofold increase in suspension height helped increase network capacity. This makes it possible to reduce capital expenditures and improve the quality mobile internet for customers not due constructions to new facilities, but to achieve the greatest efficiency on the existing infrastructure. After optimization, traffic processed by the base station grew by an average of 47%.
In 2023, Tele2 is implementing a federal project to optimize the operation of existing base stations. It covers 61 regions of Russia and includes 1020 positions - technical specialists constantly analyze the operation of the network, and the list of objects can be supplemented. As of March 2023, the company implemented the project by almost a third - engineers moved equipment to 320 facilities. When optimizing the network, Tele2 will focus on Moscow and the region (250 sites for the year), on Baikal and the Far East (149), in the Urals (121) and Siberia (113).
Radio planners analyze the quality of existing network coverage and technical KPIs of base stations operation. This allows you to determine locations where nearby objects can be an obstacle to the propagation of radio waves and where the potential of an already operating BS is not exhausted. Further, regional specialists identify objects to increase the height of the suspension of equipment, work out technical solutions and implementation possibilities on the ground. This could be upgrading an existing facility or placing it in an alternative location.
The average increase in suspension height was 16 meters. This allows you to expand network coverage and include more subscribers in the coverage area of the base station. As a result, traffic processed by the base station grew by an average of 47% after optimization. For subscribers, this is expressed in improving the quality of mobile Internet, for the company - in revenue growth.
