/PanARMENIAN.Net/ VivaCell-MTS completed the next stage of introducing
the third generation (3G) network in Armenia. Now the services of 3G
network will be accessible in all marzes of the country, VivaCell-MTS
management told a press conference in Sevan today.
The 3G mobile network introduced by VivaCell-MTS is the widest
3G coverage in Armenia. Technically it is the most advanced
state-of-the-art network in the country based on the UMTS/HSPA system
(Universal Mobile Telecommunications System/High Speed Packet Access).
Launched by VivaCell-MTS on April 17th, 2009, 3G network has been
operating successfully in Yerevan, as well as Gyumri and Vanadzor. Now
the services of the third generation network are also available in
47 towns and rural communities - from Meghri to Bagratashen.
Taking the popularity of 3G phones among our subscribers and the daily
growing demand for third generation services into account, particularly
what refers to high speed and wireless mobile internet, VivaCell-MTS
continuously increases the number of NODE B third generation sites
with their majority having been installed in the marzes. Along with
the introduction of the 3G technologies the Company also improves the
quality of services that have been provided during the last 4 years
by the 2.5G network.
Furthermore, taken the constantly growing number of VivaCell-MTS
subscribers (exceeding 2 million as of September 30th, 2009), the
company continues to update the 2.5G network by increasing the number
of BTSs.
Within the 3G network coverage VivaCell-MTS subscribers will have
access to all services so far available within the 2.5G network,
and also the novice services like the "Videocall" that gives the
interlocutors a chance to see each other and high speed mobile internet
enabled by the connection of a mobile phone or MTS-Connect wireless
USB flash modem. Moreover, the modem gives access to wireless internet
anywhere, and allows access to the latest news and entertainement
services through VivaCell-MTS wap portal. In case of being outside the
3G coverage MTS-Connect enables using internet via GPRS/EDGE system.
VivaCell-MTS 3G network reaches 47 towns and large rural communities
of Armenia's marzes in addition to Yerevan, Gyumri and Vanadzor.
"There's no place too far to reach! On April 17th while launching
our state of the art 3G network in Guymri, Vanadzor and Yerevan we
promised that it was only the the beginning and that the rest of the
regions will be covered, today we deliver the promise. Despite all
the challenges we again strive to provide our subscribers with the
state of the art 3G network all over the country. I am confident, the
accessibility of third generation services particularly to residents
of farther towns and large villages will open new perspectives to
everyone," mentioned VivaCell-MTS General Manager Ralph Yirikian.
After the press-conference the journalists had the opportunity
to try the innovative services offered by VivaCell-MTS, which
will significantly increase also the productivity of the mass media
performance, who will be able to send information from the most distant
borderland regions of Armenia to Yerevan in the fastest possible pace.
