en.Wedoany.com Reported - ООО "Т2 Мобайл" (T2) has adjusted its strategy for deploying base stations in Moscow, shifting to building new stations using fiber-optic communication lines. This move aims to improve communication quality, network capacity, and service resilience for users in the capital. The first commercial sites based on fiber-optic lines are planned to launch in August 2026.
T2 initiated the fiber-optic base station project in March 2026, with technical experts beginning to select sites that meet construction standards. Currently, nearly 400 potential sites in Moscow and the Moscow region are under study, with design and construction work expected to take place in the summer.
Fiber optics support data transmission speeds of tens of Gbit/s, providing capacity reserves for traffic growth in the coming years. Its advantages also include extremely low latency, which is critical for applications requiring fast response times, such as gaming and financial transactions. Compared to copper cables, fiber-optic lines are unaffected by weather conditions and voltage fluctuations, offering higher interference resistance and thus improving connection stability.
The first commercial services based on the new fiber-optic lines are scheduled to launch in August. In 2027, T2 will expand the project scale and prioritize launching base stations on fiber-optic lines.
Andrey Makhankov, Technical Director of T2's Moscow region, stated that under current conditions, building wireless relay lines is costly and has limited capacity, making the shift to proprietary fiber optics key to optimizing network layout. The company is focused on completing this new task, ensuring continued high-quality communication services in Moscow while freeing up equipment resources to maintain construction pace. He believes that fiber-optic lines are an investment in future communication development, essential for the full deployment of fifth-generation networks and achieving dense IoT coverage.
