How are the ideas born that "MegaFon" brings to life? Their basis is a belief in the triumph of technology, creating new opportunities for communication, as well as the desire to make this technology accessible to people.
Innovation is the key to success in today's telecommunications market, which was formed as a result of decades of active searching for new technologies in the field of communications. When we say that "the future depends on you," we are declaring that this is our approach to the development of new services. Much of what seemed impossible before, is now a reality. Just a few decades ago, even the idea of cellular communications seemed impossible, but now you are even using your mobile to arrange video calls. And the first such call in the history of Russia was made on a "MegaFon" network.
The experience of "MegaFon" has allowed us to form a special approach to the development of the company, based on the consistent implementation of innovations that enable us to always be one step ahead. We understand well that the technological advantage that we have reached is not the ultimate goal. We can be sure in our future only by constantly improving.
"MegaFon" was the first in Russia to put into operation a network using the third-generation UMTS standard, and by the end of 2009, we became the market leader in 3G both in terms of revenue and number of users, and in the network and infrastructure area of coverage. As a result, third-generation networks are already available to our subscribers across the country today.
