MegaFon was the first operator to deploy 4G equipment inside Kirov Airport.
A reliable signal can be observed not only in the business lounge but also throughout the transport hub — in the arrival and departure areas, passenger terminals, waiting rooms, shops and cafes. To date, MegaFon is the only operator providing high-speed mobile internet at Pobedilovo Airport.
Pobedilovo air gateway is located 22 kilometers from the regional center of Kirov Oblast and is one of the country's most remote airports relative to the city limits. Now ordering a taxi online to get from the terminal to the city will be much easier. Passengers departing on flights, up until boarding, will be able to stay in touch with loved ones, download films and music so as not to be bored during the flight and, if necessary, continue to handle work matters, use Gosuslugi and make online purchases.
To allow the signal to pass through the numerous partitions in the airport building, engineers installed telecom equipment directly inside the premises.
The telecom equipment operates in a modern 4G band, which offers high capacity and strong signal penetration. Thus all passengers and airport staff, which handles more than ten domestic flights daily, can use all modern digital services in real time.
"Tourist traffic to Kirov Oblast is growing every year, and it was important for us to provide the regional airport with mobile internet. Today our equipment can boost data transfer speeds to 60 Mbps — now, at the height of the holiday season, numerous tourists will be able to stay online, share photos and comfortably spend time waiting for flights. In addition, voice service in VoLTE mode has become available in the terminal building — this technology allows you to talk and surf the web at the same time, providing high connection speeds and excellent sound quality," said Alexander Maksimov, director of MegaFon in Kirov Oblast.
As noted by the Ministry of Information Technology and Communications of Kirov Oblast, the regional government is carrying out ongoing work to develop communications across the region so that residents can use electronic services and stay connected with loved ones. Infrastructure construction projects are being implemented jointly with telecom operators. The arrival of 4G at the airport is an important step for the comfort of residents and visitors to the region. In addition, a map of free Wi‑Fi access points, where you can view the list of internet access locations, has been posted on the regional government's website.
