In November, specialists of “Kcell\u201d Company have traveled about 7,000 kilometers to verify the quality of the network. Drive tests have been carried out in four cities \u2013 Astana, Ust-Kamenogorsk, Pavlodar and Karaganda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Measurements of Kcell voice communication quality during the drive tests in Astana showed 4.44 points out of a maximum of 5 on MOS scale (Eng. Mean Opinion Score \u2013 Average rating of speech intelligibility) using the POLQA international algorithm (Eng. Perceptual Objective Listening Quality Assessment \u2013 an objective assessment of the audible speech quality). And in Pavlodar the peak speed of mobile Internet in the 4G\/LTE network reached 70.9 Mbit\/sec during checking the quality of mobile Internet network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Drive-test is one of the most proven and accurate methods for measuring the quality of services in mobile communication in addition to fixed measurements, as well as the collection of statistics by the operator. Unlike other methods, this measurement occurs in the movement. Its results are used by the mobile operator to objectively evaluate and compare the quality of service on the test route. Also, it helps to assess the quality of applied technologies, provides a basis for planning the development and optimization of the network and to increase the efficient use of available resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Start and active development of 4G\/LTE network by Kcell in the 4th Quarter significantly increased the speed and volume of data transmission. So, only in November the volume of traffic only in Almaty and Astana cities exceeded 5 mln GB, and the average maximum speed of the Internet in the 4G\/LTE network reached 75 Mbit\/sec. The maximum data transmission rate in the fourth generation network has been fixed in Bostandyk district of Almaty, where the speed of downloading data to a smartphone with support for LTE-A reached up to 120-125 Mb\/s at night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Currently, Kcell network of the fourth generation is available in 13 cities with 26% of the population covered.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
