Previously, the Russian Ministry of Digital Development announced that all operators in Russia will turn off 3G networks until 2030
Operator «VimpelCom» (trademark «Beeline») reported on the work carried out on the Black Sea coast. In Sochi, Anapa, Gelendzhik, Belorechensk, Tikhoretsk, Ust-Labinsk, Primorsko-Akhtarsk, Yeysk, Temryuk and in 118 other settlements of the Krasnodar Territory «Beeline» transferred its frequencies from the 3G communication standard (2100 MHz band) in favor of the more technologically advanced 4G standard.
As the company noted, this made it possible to improve the 4G network and make mobile Internet-based services more reliable and accessible. For example, in Anapa, analysts from «Beeline» noted a 20% increase in speed, in Tikhoretsk — by 16%.
For online services to work at high speeds, the smartphone and SIM card must support the 4G standard. You can clarify the device parameters in the settings.
