In this article we will cover the topic of what Beeline coverage area is, as well as how to find out about its status in a particular region and solve connection problems.

Beeline coverage map and its features

Having studied the map of the location of the operator’s communication towers, you can see that the entire country is covered by them. But communication is not always present where there are well-equipped stations mobile operator. Why so, you ask.

Many users who are not aware of the features mobile communications, attribute problems with it to the service operator. But this is far from true.

Network quality depends on many factors:

  1. Insufficient signal emission power from the base tower or the direction of the antennas is incorrect.
  2. Uneven distribution of base stations due to the peculiarities of the geographical location and architectural development of the settlement, resulting in incomplete coverage of the territory.
  3. The quality of communication also depends on the building density of the area, the layout of the building in which the subscriber is located, or even the thickness of its walls.
  4. Weather conditions play an important role- so, rain has a big impact on throughput communication channels.

Mainly about connection quality and coverage areas the subscriber wants to know in the following cases:

  • Buying real estate (most often outside the city).
  • When going on a trip, picnic or vacation.
  • Going on a business trip.

Below you can see the coverage map:

By the way, on the map, large cities are generally shown with the best signal, but remote settlements, so to speak, the outback, cannot boast of this.

But here a surprise may await you - although the tower may not be indicated on the map, the operator’s connection in this area can be quite tolerable.

For what reason does this happen? Most often, a reflected signal is involved in this, although small inaccuracies in drawing up the coverage map cannot be ruled out.

Where can I get 3g and 4g signals from Beeline?

Having carefully studied the Beeline coverage map, you will notice that the Internet of these categories is not available everywhere. The best signals of 3g technology can be received in the central part of the country, but in the eastern and northern regions the situation is worse.


Regarding the Internet using 4g technology, the coverage here is much more modest. Base stations with this signal are located pointwise, which means that not all operator users can receive the signal.

4g Internet can be used by residents of the Moscow and St. Petersburg megacities, as well as their regions. Residents of certain central regions of Russia also have this advantage.

In other regions of the Russian Federation, 4g signals appear only in the largest cities - administrative centers of the regions where Beeline LTE base stations are located. This service is provided in 11 regions of the country, increasing its volume to cover more and more new territories every year.

Signal reception problems and how to solve this problem


As mentioned above, the absence of a signal or its poor quality occurs everywhere. And the operator is not always the reason for this. Now we would like to tell you what you can do if you have bad signal operator.

Of course, complaining about a small number of base stations or their insufficient power will not speed up the process of installing new ones or upgrading old ones.

But by sending a request to the operator indicating your location and the characteristics of the signal you are receiving, you can be sure that the operator will definitely consider this request and check the settings of its stations in this region, which may simply need additional correction. That is why it is very important for Beeline Feedback with your users.

In addition, the problem may lie in the gadget itself, which simply does not receive a signal due to the fact that it does not support this type of communication. To avoid this, when purchasing equipment, be sure to ask the seller about the functions of receiving communication signals.

To solve connection problems in remote areas of the region where the signal does not penetrate well, such as in the country, you can install special cellular amplifiers.

It is also worth paying attention to the time of registration on the network. The fact is that during peak hours, when the network experiences a large influx of users, the signal scatters and there simply may not be enough for everyone, or its quality begins to “limp”.

It will be useful to view:

Grand total

In order to be connected, users need to have an idea of ​​the quality of communication in the area where they are located. To do this, the Beeline operator has posted a very accessible map of its network coverage on its website. If the subscriber is not satisfied with the signal quality, the company is always ready to listen and help solve the problem. In addition, today the solution to many connection problems is not limited to adjusting antennas at base stations, but you can find out exactly what solutions to problems exist in this article.

Towers cellular communications are installed in open areas so that base stations can be mounted on them. Base stations are a set of devices responsible for receiving, transmitting and processing a cellular signal.

Despite the fact that the spread mobile methods Communication in Russia is intensive; many cities and villages find themselves without this type of communication.

Cell phone towers

Cell phone towers are used away from urban areas. In megacities, base stations are placed on the roofs of houses. Their range of action reaches 3-5 kilometers. And around roads, near rural settlements, special towers are installed. As a rule, these are white and red pillars, towers, on top of which a base station is mounted. When there are no forests or reinforced concrete structures in the signal path, towers can be placed at a distance of 10-15 km from each other.

As the mast rental market grows, the landscape is changing rapidly.

MTS cell towers

MTS takes second place in the number of base stations among large operators cellular communications in Russia. In 2016, about 137 thousand units were installed. This company was the first to lease out its towers to competitors and other enterprises, offering rather preferential conditions in the form of no penalties for early termination of the contract and no hidden or additional payments.

Beeline cell towers

In 2016, Beeline had about 96 thousand installed base stations. The dynamics of their increase is relatively modest: 4.5 thousand new stations appear per year. Although it was the installation of new towers that allowed the company to offer 4G Internet in many regions of Russia.

Megafon cell towers

As of 2016, Megafon had the most base stations installed: about 164 thousand. This company increases their number by 14-15 thousand per year.

Cellular tower Tele2

The Tele 2 operator is growing dynamically. In 2016, it had about 96 thousand base stations, which is comparable in coverage to Beeline. This company installs or leases 12 thousand new towers and stations per year. There is reason to believe that at this rate of development, this operator will soon take a stronger position in the top four.

How to install cell towers, and what is the price?

Cellular towers are used where there are no other options for placing base stations. Even around villages you can find tall structures on which it will be cheaper to mount antennas than to install a tower. These could be pipes, elevators and other types of high-type buildings.

The requirements for installing a tower are quite complicated:

  • the height of the original tower should be from 72 to 100 meters;
  • It is advisable to choose the highest place in the area; any hill or hill will do;
  • access to electricity is required. If it is not there, you need to install a separate transformer;
  • The tower should be installed near populated areas or roads with high traffic capacity.

The intensity of construction of towers is high; for example, in the Moscow region, several dozen of them are installed during the warm season.

The cost of building one cell tower is about 5 million rubles. IN Lately It is customary to rent land for such structures not only from legal entities, but also from individuals. True, the rates for private landowners are purely symbolic - several hundred rubles per year.

What is the cost to rent a cell tower?

The big four cell phone operators own only 70% of the towers. Even companies such as MTS, Beeline, Tele 2 and Megafon rent part of the capacity from companies that specialize in the construction of towers. These include players such as:

  • “Russian Tower” (1.7 thousand towers);
  • "Vertical" (1.6 thousand towers).

Renting a cell tower is relatively inexpensive. For different companies, the price can range from 15 to 30 thousand rubles per month.

Cell Tower Manufacturers and Suppliers

Most tasks related to the construction of cell towers can be solved by Russian companies and suppliers.

There are several companies that have proven themselves in this area:

  • Metal-System LLC: the company produces towers, masts, and pipe stands for mounting base stations on the roofs of buildings.
  • Altaystroydiagnostika LLC helps to build a tower based on a mast or tower in compliance with all technical and legal requirements. The company's experts know how to properly install supports and ensure uninterrupted operation of the equipment.
  • The metal structures plant "Spetsstroykomplekt" can produce a tower according to standard drawings or taking into account the wishes of the customer. You can order here additional options for the tower: lightning rod, platform for technical personnel.
  • MKTEK company is considered one of the cheapest manufacturers of cell towers. The towers installed by this company have a sectional structure. Depending on the required height of the mast or tower, you can choose a different number of sections. This saves money for those customers who plan to install a tower on a hill and who do not need the maximum height of the structure.

The total number of enterprises in Russia that produce and supply equipment for the installation of cellular towers is several dozen companies. The market is so developed that consumers have the opportunity to choose a company that will suit them in terms of the time frame for manufacturing and installation of the tower, the cost of the work, and the features of the technical equipment of the tower.

Tower maintenance

Maintaining towers is not cheap. Equipment must be changed at an uncertain frequency. Some towers work longer in an unchanged condition, others quickly fail. It depends on the type of equipment and the average cell load.

Sometimes tower owners replace the equipment with more modern ones. 4G networks are gradually spreading throughout Russia. Behind this simple phrase there is a huge amount of work involved in upgrading equipment.

Simple maintenance of towers without modernization costs approximately 5% of the cost per year, that is, 250 thousand rubles.

Detecting communication towers is not a criminal activity, but a fairly common task in remote regions and villages where the quality of coverage leaves much to be desired. How can you understand why this post gives better results than that wicket? The following tools and websites can help you navigate.

Of the English-language services, perhaps the best is opensignal.com, where you can select the operator and the required location. The map does not show towers, but does show coverage areas. Among the Russians, I can recommend netmonitor.ru - its database contains a lot of information about operator towers.

Some Android applications are also interesting. For example, OpenSignal displays a map cell towers And Wi-Fi points(places with poor communication are also marked on the map), has a built-in compass and a speed checker.

Another interesting utility is Netmonitor. It can monitor GSM and CDMA networks, shows information about signal strength, contains a database of cell towers, supports devices with multiple SIM cards, and can also keep a log in CLF or KLM format.

Please note that Netmonitor has limitations when running on devices from some manufacturers. On Motorola smartphones, LG, Samsung, Acer and Huawei, the list of neighbors may be empty, and on Samsung devices, the signal strength may also not be displayed.

I also recommend GSM application Signal Monitoring, which allows you to work with GSM, UMTS and LTE networks. It displays the change in signal level on a graph and shows neighboring cells (only in GSM networks). There is a data transfer rate monitor and the ability to track connection status, connection standard, cell and current zone identifiers (LAC/RNC/TAC) and received signal strength level (RSSI, as well as RSRP for LTE).

Knowing the data of the base station, you can access it through the website xinit.ru and obtain information about its location. In large cities, it doesn’t hurt to try to find popular maps with the location of the towers, but you should understand that the towers belong to different operators. Plus, base stations are placed not only on poles, but also on the roofs of houses.

Coverage maps of Moscow and the Moscow region MTS, Megafon, Yota, Tele2, Rostelecom, SkyLink LTE are needed to help you choose best operator mobile internet and cellular communications at our location.

Very often you and I have to look for a mobile Internet zone for more better access With wireless network.
For this purpose, a unique map of 4G network coverage in Russia was created. Not consistent signal wireless communication often leaves much to be desired and for many cellular subscribers a constant loss of signal causes a lot of trouble.

To begin with, please note that when you first visit the Internet Coverage page, the zone mobile network MTS is turned on by default and you will see the MTS Map 3G-4G coverage of Moscow and your city, region (location) automatically determined by geolocation tools.

Buttons

At the top of the Map there are buttons for other mobile Internet operators, when clicked, a layer of the communication network location zone is loaded.

In the process of searching and determining the best coverage area, you can layer different operators on top of each other and easily determine which operator is right for you.

Color Coverage of Moscow maps MTS, Megafon, Yota, Tele2, Rostelecom, SkyLink

At the bottom of the Coverage Map there are hint pictures with the color background of each operator. When simultaneously turning on the Coverage of several layers of Communication Maps at once, be careful and by turning on and off the operator buttons, accurately determine the most convenient operator for you - MTS, Megafon, Yota, Tele2.

MTS coverage map area of ​​Moscow

MTS network coverage is updated regularly and our visitors can see the most new map this mobile operator. The color scheme is distributed in the following order:

Red LTE, pink 3G, pale pink 2G. When viewing the map, you see a list of available coverage of mobile operators and the Internet.

On the buttons where a separate selection of 2G, 3G, LTE networks is possible, you will notice a characteristic sign next to the operator’s name. By clicking on the button, a tab with available Internet standards to choose from will open.

All available communication standards are marked in the photo. By pressing again, you can cancel the selected network, thus forcing only the one you need to load.

Accuracy of Moscow City Coverage Area MTS, Megafon, Yota, Tele2, Rostelecom, SkyLink


Tele2 network coverage accuracy has been corrected; for comparison, we recommend going to the company’s official website
P.S. — 12/21/2016 — coverage maps of Rostelecom (2G,3G,4G) and SkyLink (LTE-450 MHz. Moscow, Krasnodar and adjacent regions were added. Coverage is growing - you can always determine more precisely on our map))

When buying a SIM card from a particular telecom operator, we rarely think about looking at the reception card. We are accustomed to the fact that the phone picks up a signal almost everywhere. The same applies to the Beeline operator - its base stations are located everywhere. This is evidenced by the map that outlines the Beeline coverage area on the operator’s official website. Nevertheless, the connection is not everywhere and not always - we will tell you why this is so.

Features of the Beeline coverage map

In almost any locality we can find places where there is no coverage area of ​​our favorite telecom operator - in our case it is Beeline. A poorly located building, poor apartment layout and rooms with thick reinforced concrete walls can cause a lack of communication. The peculiarities of the propagation of radio waves in various conditions should not be overlooked. The result of all this is areas with a lack of communication. But the Beeline coverage map is unable to tell us about this.

The operator admits that in a given area there may be areas where the signal from base stations will not be received, or will be received with difficulty.

Information about Beeline's coverage area may be required in cases where we do not know whether a signal will be received at a particular point. Situations may be as follows:

  • The subscriber is going on a business trip, and so that he can talk in his own way mobile phone, at a given point the Beeline signal must be caught;
  • A man is going on a hike, and he wants to know whether there will be communication far from the city;
  • We are about to buy a summer house - we need to check whether there will be mobile phone reception there.

There are thousands of such situations. And on the map of the Beeline coverage area you can find settlements in which there are no base stations. This means that there will be no connection to the network here, and you won’t be able to call anywhere. Beeline's coverage area in the Moscow region is quite wide - there is no doubt that there will be communication almost everywhere. We can say that the coverage here is almost continuous.

Let's try to move deeper into the Moscow region, looking at the map - we will find areas where there is no Beeline reception. It’s one thing when there is no reception somewhere in a wooded area, and it’s a completely different matter when there is no reception in any populated area (villages, small towns, hamlets).

The most interesting thing is when you arrive at your destination and are surprised to discover that the phone is still registered on the network. This may be due to both inaccuracies in the computer map of Beeline’s coverage area and to some features of radio wave propagation.

As practice shows, the network can be accessible even in places where there is no coverage area on the map - for example, in remote forest areas or in mountainous areas where a reflected signal can be caught.

By the way, sometimes this is not even enough to make a call - the reception symbols are displayed on the screen, but it is simply impossible to make a call or access the Internet.

Most often, you encounter strange coverage zones in mountainous areas - here there are areas with an unusually strong signal, populated areas with a complete lack of Beeline coverage, as well as “spots” where the network seems to be caught, but does not show a stable connection.

You can view maps of Beeline's coverage area on the operator's official website. To do this, go to the “Offices and Coverage” section, select the required technology (2G, 3G or 4G), and then wait until the areas where there is a stable connection are displayed. note that this map may not reflect the actual reception situation, as it is generated by a computer and may not take into account the characteristics of radio wave propagation.

Internet coverage area from Beeline

This point is already more interesting, as it allows you to find out whether the Internet will work in a particular point in the Moscow region and Russia. As with voice services, The Internet, even in the already widespread 3G format, will not be available everywhere. As far as was noted, Beeline has a stable coverage area only in populated areas. As soon as you drive past a road sign with the name of a city/town/village crossed out, problems begin.

If you want to see the 3G coverage area from Beeline, go to the official website and go to the “Offices and Coverage” section. Move the slider to the 3G position and wait until the map is shaded with areas with theoretical signal reception in the specified format. You may notice that it is slightly smaller than the 2G zone - and this is quite understandable, since second-generation networks appeared before third-generation networks.

The 4G coverage map from Beeline is drawn in the same section. To do this, you need to move the slider for displaying networks of a particular generation. You may notice that Beeline 4G coverage area is significantly narrower compared to other networks. For example, in Solnechnogorsk, Dmitrov or Kolomna there is a network, but in Tver for example it is missing. But it is present in distant Rybinsk.

The reason for the selectivity of Beeline’s coverage area in the 4G standard is not entirely clear, and you won’t be able to get an answer to this question from the support service (they themselves don’t know anything).

Beeline's LTE coverage area completely matches 4G coverage(this is, in fact, the same thing, because LTE is the fourth generation 4G network) - there is not even a corresponding switch on the card. But here you can display 4G+ coverage, this is high-speed Internet with a maximum speed of up to 300 Mbit/sec. In the Moscow region, it operates only within the central part of Moscow. 4G+ does not work in small settlements.

Fixing problems with coverage area

It is unlikely that you will be able to force the operator to install new base stations in some village where several hundred people live. But if you live in a large populated area, and you notice that at some point there is no normal connection to Beeline, You can write an application to adjust the coverage area– sometimes this helps (the operator will reconfigure the antennas or take measurements with his equipment).
