End of an era: 3G will be turned off in Russia

Beeline has decided to abandon the 3G communication standard in Moscow and the Moscow region by September.All basic frequencies for

third generation networks will be transferred to LTE. Discuss

We are talking about the 2.1 GHz band.Beeline saw that 3G traffic is steadily falling every year, but LTE consumption is growing. Therefore, it was decided to leave the lowest and shortest band, 900 MHz, for third-generation networks. Until the end of 2023, Beeline plans to abandon 3G in more than 25 regions of Russia.

Now everyone who still uses phones that do not support 4G will have to buy new ones. You should also check the support of the SIM card.

Yesterday, the Ministry of Digital Development proposed to allocate certain frequencies for 5G. The department believes that it is necessary to develop a new communication standard.
