The experimental-commercial exploitation of ArmenTel company’s 3G
mobile communication system will be presented on June 19. Director
General of ArmenTel CJSC Neicho Velichkov will make a speech at a
press-conference dedicated to the presentation. As ArmenTel CJSC
(Beeline brand) told ArmInfo correspondent, all subscribers whose
telephones are of the 3G format will have a chance to connect to this
communication. The tariff for the new service will not differ from the
those of vocal calls in the current 2G system. The 3G network will
initially operate in the center of Yerevan and in the main lines of
Yerevan. The standard of the network’s work will be UMTS (Universal
Mobile Telecommunications System). Sony Ericsson provided technical
support to the project.
The 3G system gives a chance to receive a video telephone, mobile
television and access to internet through one channel of mobile
communication.
According to Wireless Intelligence, as of the end of November 2006,
there were 364 mln 3G subscribers, 93,5 mln of them were connected
to the UMTS networks and 271,1 mln – to ‘DMA2000.
