Cdma-450 Network Launch in Ukraine
MTS Ukraine (formerly Ukrainian Mobile Communications, UMC) has launched its wireless broadband network using CDMA2000 1xEV-DO Revision A (Rev. A) equipment supplied by Alcatel-Lucent. The new network is deployed in the 450 MHz spectrum band.
As part of this project, Alcatel-Lucent supplied its CDMA Modular Cell 4.0 Compact base stations for the 450 MHz spectrum band, CDMA2000 1xEV-DO Radio Network Controllers (RNC), a base station operation controller and a network element management system as well as packet core network equipment.
According to figures from the Mobile World database, MTS Ukraine is the country's second largest operator, having ended the first half of this year with just under 20 million subscribers - and a market share of 39%.
Its partner in the project Kvazar-Micro - an international IT company that provides products, solutions and services in Eastern Europe and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) - managed the overall network integration.
UMC was the first company to introduce mobile (cellular) services in Ukraine back in 1993, initially in the analog NMT standard, then in GSM 900 and 1800. In October 2006, UMC terminated its NMT service with plans to use the spectrum for the CDMA-450 rollout described above.
