The next year in Russia will be put to the competition of scarce frequencies in the range of 2.3-2.4 GHz, which provides mobile broadband internet access based on WiMAX technology. The band is designed for three operators, the Russian Ministry of Communications says that the competition will be transparent and open.
This statement was followed on Friday by Deputy Minister of Communications Naum Marder.
The State Commission for Radio Frequencies do not issue licenses for frequencies is more than six months as a result of accumulated number of applications for WiMAX- range - the operators were interested mainly in getting frequencies from 2.5 to 2.7 GHz. However, this band and so full of electronic equipment (RECs ), so the operators was difficult to gain access to scarce frequency. License to use this resource could be obtained only three operators ' Summa Telecom ', ' Synterra ' and ' Start Telecom '. Although none of these companies are not deployed a WiMax- network. To date, only one operator has launched a mobile WiMAX ( while in trial operation ) - is the company ' Scartel ', which recently entered the market. Networks ' Scartel ' work in the range of 2.5-2.7 GHz, and longed to obtain the frequency of the company managed through the purchase of other players, says CEO ' Scartel ' Denis Sverdlov.
The range of 2.3-2.4 GHz was opened to the market this spring. Commercial Director of WiMAX- project ' Enforta ' initiated by ' The prestige of the Internet ', Oleg Taynov believes that, from a technical point of view of the range of 2.3-2.4 GHz is even more promising: ' It is more or less cleared, then there is no . Then, in April 2008. , Appeared on the market certified by another batch of 2.3 GHz equipment, like a secret: ' The market is as base stations for this range - from Huawei, Cisco, Motorola, Alvarion, and other manufacturers as well as user terminals '.
As you can see, our northern neighbor to the mobile WiMax business moved off dead center, which is not true about our country. We have frequency ranges for WiMax - 2,3-2,4 GHz and 3,4-3,6 GHz - only to be considered for a Cabinet decision on their subsequent commercial use. Meetings on this issue can not wait for all the interested businessmen.
With regard to the range of 2.5-2.7 GHz license for the deployment of mobile WiMax has one single company - ... The business plan of the project, as stated earlier, involves an investment of about $ 120 million. Trial parts of the network should start later this year.
