Deployment in UMTS-900 Band

According to A1 Belarus, selecting the 900 MHz band for the second carrier frequency was a strategic decision. The 900 MHz frequency range is known for its ability to provide broader coverage with minimal signal attenuation, making it ideal for serving communities in rural areas.

Unlike the 2100 MHz band, the 900 MHz radio signal can penetrate various obstacles and offer greater capacity, enabling seamless communication even in challenging landscapes or dense urban development.

Improved Coverage and Reliable Communication

According to A1 Belarus, the new channel has increased the capacity of their 3G Network by almost double within the coverage area of the second carrier frequency. This notable improvement translated into enhanced voice call quality and accelerated mobile internet speeds for A1 customers.

According to A1, this development has received favorable feedback from residents in small villages, rural areas, holiday resorts, and recreational zones.
