Tele2 towers on the map: on whose cell towers does Tele2 work?

The mobile operator Tele2 is developing rapidly and is steadily expanding its coverage area and communication quality. Tele2 cell towers on the map below allow you to verify this; their number is sufficient to provide stable coverage to most regions of our country.

Briefly on the topic

Tele2 base stations operate on equipment from Nokia Networks and Flexi Multiradio
The company is currently working towards the development of the 4G communication format
Stations are located everywhere: rooftops, roadsides, subways and other places

Equipment

Our inquisitive readers are probably interested in knowing which towers Tele2 operates on? The telecommunications equipment that this cellular operator uses is truly first-class. Nokia Networks and Flexi Multiradio are the towers Tele2 uses, and these manufacturers produce the latest generation equipment.

Now this mobile operator aims to provide its customers with an uninterrupted signal in 4G format and is successfully working in this direction - residents of large cities have already seen this. In Moscow, St. Petersburg and many other cities, there is an LTE signal even in the metro. To verify this, we recommend reading the article about the Tele2 coverage map in the metro, which is available on our website.

Cellular operator coverage maps

The most complete map of stations is available only from mobile operators. With its help, they carry out work to install new equipment and maintain high-quality communications. The exact location of the towers is not publicly available to protect the stations from intruders and vandals.

Official websites of operators

These services show the coverage area of a cellular operator's network. The signal intensity and coverage areas of LTE, 4G and 3G networks are highlighted on the map. Using them you can find the area of interest and understand how good the connection will be there. The exact coordinates of the stations are not indicated here for the reasons stated above.

Special programs and applications

To identify base stations, there are convenient applications for mobile devices, as well as more powerful programs for computers:

One of the most popular applications is OpenSignal. It shows the location of towers on a map, as well as open Wi-Fi access points. There is also a built-in compass and a service for calculating traffic speed.
Another application is Netmonitor, it is often mentioned on thematic forums. This resource has a database of mobile operator stations, searches for GSM and CDMA networks, and works on devices with two SIM cards.
There are special sites, such as xinit.ru. But the location of the tower can only be found out by those who own the base station data - cell identifier, Location area code and others.

There are many applications on Google Play and AppStore with similar functions. They can be easily found by entering the search query “Tower Map”. In search engines you can find maps of Beeline, MTS or Megafon stations, which are compiled by the subscribers themselves - this is relevant for large cities. The most detailed “people's” map was created for Moscow and the region.

How they work

How does a standard base station work? In a nutshell, your SIM card receives the signal issued by the nearest tower, thereby providing you with various communication services - the ability to make calls, receive and send SMS messages, and mobile data transfer. When a person moves with the phone turned on, the device will invariably receive a signal from the nearest tower, that is, switch between them. This way the connection will always be good. The exception is when something interferes with the signal - for example, you are in a basement where no additional equipment is installed, or you have gone out of town and the nearest station is quite far from you.

What it is

Above on the map, in fact, you can see Megafon 4G towers on the map of our country - the coverage area is marked with the appropriate colors (the coverage area is shown on the map to make it easier for you to understand what kind of connection is in a particular place). As you can see, the scale of distribution of mobile communications across regions is very large! Let's try to figure out the definition of equipment that gives us the opportunity to use traffic, make calls and write SMS messages?

It is the core part of any cellular network;
Towers act as a link between subscriber equipment (for example, telephone) and wireless radio waves (communications, Internet);
Equipment installed on the ground creates a coverage area - range and power are regulated by antennas.

Look at the map of Megafon base stations - the more of them in one place, the better the connection! Got the definition? Let's move on to the next part of the review.

32 illegal cell phone towers identified in Krasnodar

712 2 min.

First Deputy Head of Krasnodar Evgeniy Naumov said that 32 towers, as they are called, “dual-use”, were identified in the regional center. At the moment, two of them have been dismantled on their own. “Within a week we will work out the legal component - how it is even possible to provide them. We will dismantle these 30 illegally installed towers as soon as possible. An instruction was also given to send information to the owners of networks and power transmission towers about not allowing the installation of such dual-use towers,” said Mr. Naumov. According to him, cell towers are placed on the supports of NESK, the network is switched to them, they are connected, and they take technical conditions. “To prevent this from happening again, everyone will receive official notifications to prevent such towers from being allowed in the future,” the head of the department noted. He did not specify who exactly owns the towers.

This work was carried out on behalf of the head of Krasnodar, Evgeny Pervyshov. According to him, towers are beginning to appear in Krasnodar, for which the city did not give any permission. The mayor instructed the head of the municipal control department, as well as the head of the department of architecture and urban planning, to take control of the problem. “Because if we don’t stop the growth of this “infection” now, it will fill the entire city. I think it is necessary in this part to turn to the deputies of the Legislative Assembly of the Krasnodar Territory for help, we need to look at where we have gaps in the legislation, maybe make some amendments to the regional and city regulatory framework, because to allow such independence is where I want, there and I bet you can’t. Tomorrow we will have poles hung with these boxes on all corners,” the mayor said.

The MTS company said that the package of necessary documents for the installation of stations includes a contract for the site where the facility is located, an agreed construction project, an examination of the project and a sanitary and epidemiological conclusion (P1), issued by the Office of the Federal Service for Supervision of Consumer Rights Protection and Welfare people in the Krasnodar region. Communication facilities do not fall into the category of capital structures, so a separate construction permit is not required. “We would also like to draw attention to the fact that in the context of an ever-increasing load on the network: an increase in the number of residents of Krasnodar, resort load, and an annual, at least two-fold increase in Internet consumption by users - obliges telecom operators to provide a certain level of network quality. In this case, it is necessary to take into account the conditions of dense development of a million-plus city and the physical laws of the passage and propagation of radio signals. Our subscribers must always be able to make and receive calls, use the Internet for remote work, training and personal purposes. This level of quality can be achieved by constantly expanding the network, increasing capacity using additional communication facilities,” explained a company representative.

The press service of the Southern region of PJSC VimpelCom (Beeline brand) noted that locations for installing base stations are selected based on the need to ensure quality of communication in a particular area. If we are talking about a large city, then as construction progresses there is a need to install new base stations so that the signal is not “overshadowed” by another building, and interference, as is known, is created even from the crowns of trees, and the closer the base station is to the subscriber , the more confident the signal.

Ecologist Dmitry Altufyev considers this approach wrong. “We live in the 21st century, we constantly talk about digitalization and development, but here the towers got in the way. I understand that there are many complainants among citizens, but there have always been many of them. Moreover, when the network disappears, they cut off the phones in call centers and curse the operators. There is simply a category of people who don’t like everything. There is no need to follow their lead. It has long been known that towers do not pose any danger to human health,” says Mr. Altufiev.

Why you should install the My Network application

Metricell, commissioned by MegaFon, has developed a special application that collects information about the quality of mobile communications, problems with coverage in certain areas of Russia, and tests traffic speed. The information is automatically sent to the telecommunications company’s technical specialists, who in turn analyze it, identify the causes of failures and eliminate them.

The application consumes the phone's battery power and may consume the package of megabytes provided. "My Network" works in the background. Those. There is a constant recording of events, no matter where you are: in the subway, in a building, on the street. If you find yourself in an area where there is no coverage, the app will note this and report the signal strength when you get to where the network has coverage.

The information is processed taking into account the number of messages received, the number of subscribers located in the place where calls are dropped, and Internet speed decreases. In the application you can also view the coverage map. You can download it at megafon.ru/help/soft/moya_set.html. By installing “My Network”, you will help MegaFon improve the quality of communication and data transfer.

Features of MegaFon mobile network coverage

Typically, operators locate their towers in areas where it makes economic sense. For this reason, in densely populated regions of the Russian Federation, problems with communication and Internet connection do not arise. But the opposite picture can be seen in small settlements. and remote areas.

MegaFon owns the widest coverage area in the country, especially 2G/3G. Just look at the capital. The network covers the Moscow region by at least 80%, and Moscow itself by 99%. The operator is also the leader in the number of LTE stations (more than 98.1 thousand units). The fourth generation network covers 83 Russian regions. In 47 of them, the Internet reaches impressive speeds (up to 300 Mbit/s).

If you look closely at the map, MegaFon’s 3G network seems to be available everywhere, however, it does not apply to:

taiga, tundra;
areas with complex mountainous terrain;
complex urban developments;
flattering terrain without any settlements.

The MegaFon network operates with a low signal level or disappears completely in mountain passes, lowlands, in Siberia and the eastern part of the Russian Federation (Far East). But it works on sea liners and on airplanes. This is ensured thanks to satellites. MegaFon's 4G+ coverage area with speeds of up to 150 Mbit/s mainly includes regional centers, large and medium-sized cities. The territory covered by 4G+ mobile Internet up to 300 Mbit/s is still small. This technology does not even apply to the whole of Kazan.

It is worth noting that call quality and data transfer speed are the operator’s strengths, but in terms of speech intelligibility it is inferior to Tele2. To improve signal reception and obtain a stable connection, it is advisable to use additional equipment (amplifiers): GSM repeater, subscriber antennas, etc. Femtocells are used on a production scale.

What is MegaFon's coverage area in 2021?

MegaFon's coverage area is designed so that its subscribers, when leaving the Home Region, know where the communication signal will be bad, where they can use 3G, 4G+ and high-speed 4G+ Internet. Some people are guided by this information even before choosing an operator, comparing which has a wider geographical coverage. For residents of large cities (St. Petersburg, Moscow, Kirov, etc.), a coverage area may not be needed. But the further a MegaFon client lives from them, the more important it becomes for him.

Coverage area is the territory in which signals are received via communication channels from the operator’s mobile stations. It is presented on the MegaFon website with an interactive map. The information provided is indicative. And although the MegaFon coverage map data is updated, the accuracy of the information is affected by:

meteorological conditions in a particular zone;
relief;
subscriber device parameters;
radio conditions of the place where the MegaFon client is located;
infrastructure development;
the number of subscribers with devices operating in the same cell.

Those. outside urban areas and settlements, namely on intercity highways, roads and other areas from which base stations are significantly removed, the quality of communication and, accordingly, coverage depend on natural conditions and other external factors.

The information that we see on the map of MegaFon 4G coverage areas does not always match in reality. Where you are sure of good reception, according to the designations on the interactive diagram, in reality it will show a zero level of communication quality. This may be due to external factors described earlier, but also problems with the device, for example:

the phone settings are configured incorrectly;
load on the mobile gadget system with background programs that not only reduce the data transfer speed, but also its functionality;
presence of viruses;
network overload. Usually on holidays a large number of MegaFon subscribers talk on the phone. Due to the active consumption of base station resources, line breaks and so on occur.

How to increase connection quality

Megafon is one of the first mobile operators to use new generation communications to provide Internet connections specifically on smartphones (before this, this opportunity was only available for tablets and LTE modems).

In order to connect to the desired network, the first thing you need to do is manually switch to the desired mode.

The 4G network is only available for working on the Internet; if the user decides to make a call, it will automatically switch to 3G, after which he will have to independently turn on the desired network mode again. This situation arises due to incomplete implementation and activation of capabilities.

Another disadvantage is that the speed drops significantly when the network is congested. Today, devices with LTE support are not particularly common, so you can find a point with access at very high speeds. It also maintains good speed at public events and during peak activity of other users. However, it is worth considering that using high-speed access significantly reduces the operating time of the mobile device itself.
