Tele2 is building an experimental area for testing LTE networks in the range of 1800 MHz

The operator Tele2 has announced a contract with the provider of infrastructure and network equipment Nokia Siemens Networks for the supply of network infrastructure for the construction of a pilot area for testing of LTE in the range of 1800 MHz. According to the operator, testing LTE 1800 is designed to prove in practice to effectively use GSM networks and LTE at the same frequencies without compromising the quality of communication. Earlier, Tele2 has provided data from studies commissioned by the operator, and also reports the world's leading manufacturers of telecommunications equipment to confirm this. procedure for future tests developed Federal State Unitary Enterprise "Scientific-Research Institute of Radio" (NIIR), Tele2 will be tested in collaboration with the Institute. For the construction of a pilot area operator of the equipment the company has chosen Nokia Siemens Networks, including energy-efficient and compact base stations Flexi Multiradio. This equipment provides a smooth transition from GSM to LTE. In addition, Nokia Siemens Networks will supply an operator solution to Evolved Packet Core (EPC). At present, equipment test zone is technically ready to start testing.
