Yota, the Russia-based Mobile WiMAX service provider, has announced an additional contract with Samsung Electronics to support plans for a nationwide Mobile WiMAX network in Russia. Under the new contract, Samsung will supply more than 5,000 Mobile WiMAX macro cellular base stations and Access Control Routers (ACR) to Yota from March 2010.
Yota plans to expand its Russian Mobile WiMAX network this year to 15 cities including Sochi, which will host the 2014 Winter Olympic Games.
Yota selected Samsung as its sole Mobile WiMAX equipment vendor in 2008. Since then, Samsung has supplied Yota with over 4,500 Mobile WiMAX macro and pico cellular base stations for commercial Mobile WiMAX services in Russia.
Yota currently provides commercial Mobile WiMAX services to more than 300,000 subscribers across three cities in Russia -- Moscow, St. Petersburg and Ufa. Yota has also started delivering Mobile WiMAX service to more than 50,000 subscribers in Kransnodar and Sochi.
