The MegaFon engineers provided communications and mobile Internet to the high-speed Alekseevskoye-Almetyevsk highway under construction in order to develop the region's information infrastructure under the national project "Digital Economy". From the moment of opening, drivers will be able to use maps, easily adjust routes, find places for lunch or book hotel rooms.
To ensure the largest coverage radius, the operator installed base stations on 40-meter supports. After completion of the work, the maximum data transfer speed reaches 80-100 Mbit/s. "Organization of communications at new transport infrastructure facilities is an investment in the safety and comfort of our subscribers. The growing demand for Internet services on the road is confirmed by statistics: in October, on the Tatarstan section of the M-12 highway alone, drivers and their passengers used a third more traffic than in May," Director of MegaFon in Tatarstan Mikhail Rusinov comments.
The expansion of the network also had a positive effect on residents of settlements located near the road. As a result of the work carried out, digital services have become more accessible in the settlement of Krasny Oktyabr and the villages of Bagryazh and Sabakaika.
