16:56 25/10/2013 " SOCIETY
Within the framework of the network expansion and modernization
project, VivaCell-MTS has recently installed another 4 new base
stations in Vayots Dzor and Ararat regions - Gnishik and Mozrov
(Gnishik community of Vayots Dzor), Shaghap and Lusashogh (Ararat).
VivaCell-MTS previously had mobile coverage in the villages of Mozrov,
Shaghap and Lusashogh provided through base stations installed in the
neighboring locations, and with the installation of these new base
stations next to these villages, 3G-based higher quality voice and
internet services became available to the population of the villages.
In the fourth village - Gnishik, VivaCell-MTS is now the sole mobile
operator providing the population with high-quality 3G mobile network,
including high-speed internet.
Gnishik is not the only village where VivaCell-MTS is the sole
mobile operator to have installed a base station to provide the
population with full-fledged mobile communication services. In the
village of Nrnadzor, situated on the Armenian-Iranian border, in a
mountainous area with difficult landscape, VivaCell-MTS installed 3
up-to-date base stations providing voice and internet services along
the Iranian-Armenian border, the international transit highway, the
village itself and its neighborhoods (2G and 3G stations were made
available in 2007 and 2010 respectively).
VivaCell-MTS is also the sole operator in a number of villages
including Lori region's villages Jiliza (2G is available since 2007, 3G
in 2011) Dzyunashogh (2G in 2009, 3G in 2013), both of them situated
close to the Armenian-Georgian border, Tsaghkashat (2G in 2009,
3G in 2013) and Halavar (2G in 2009 and 3G in 2013). In addition
to installing base stations, VivaCell-MTS has provided the schools
of these villages, as well as the schools of Mozrov and Nrnadzor
with access to high speed internet by donating 3G/Wi-Fi routers and
providing access to high-speed internet through MTS Connect Limited or
Home Zone Turbo tariff plans for free for a one-year period. Similar
program was implemented in Tatev and Artavan villages as well.
When making decisions on installing base stations, VivaCell-MTS is not
guided by Return on Investment (ROI) consideration only. Installing
base stations and providing mobile voice and internet communication
services to remote, mountainous and borderland villages with small
population are a priority for VivaCell-MTS as the availability of
communication infrastructure is both a social and security issue. As
a responsible operator, VivaCell-MTS is determined to provide with
mobile voice and internet services even the most remote areas with
small population and potential consumption of services.
Overall, from January 2013 till present (October 2013), within the
framework of network expansion and modernization project 156 new 3G
(HSPA+) base stations and 47 2G base stations were installed in all
regions of Armenia (a total of 203). 2G stations were upgraded in
terms of improvement of voice services, and existing 3G base stations
were upgraded in terms of data expansion and capacity improvement.
Region 2G 3G Lori 8 30 Aragatsotn 2 17 Kotayk 9 24 Shirak 7 26
Gegharkunik 6 24 Tavush 5 24 Yerevan 3 3 Syunik 3 3 Vayots Dzor 2 2
Ararat 2 2 Armavir 1 Total 47 156
VivaCell-MTS commits that the network modernization and expansion with
the latest technology will continue with additional 119 3G (HSPA+)
base stations to be installed till the end of 2013.
