According to TeleGeography during the first half of 2018 MTS Belarus intends to expand its 4G LTE network to 80 new cities and towns in the Republic, while also deploying additional base stations in areas where its advanced network is already present.
Upon completion, the cellco says its 4G infrastructure will be within reach of 70% of the population, including 95% of those living in urban areas, covering not only Minsk and Minsk region, but also in almost all regional centres across Belarus.
