Specialists of the CPM company made a significant contribution to the implementation of the technological stages of a large-scale project for the development of communication infrastructure of the T2 operator. Within the framework of this cooperation, our team, together with experts of Protei, carried out the design, implementation and integration of Protei MME nodes in several regions of the T2 communication network. Thanks to our participation, the operator has improved the quality of the service, observing the strict time frame and high requirements for the reliability and stability of the network. More information about this project is available on the CNews website.

Russian operators continue to replace foreign telecommunications solutions following the exit of foreign vendors and restrictions on support for their products. Thus, a joint team of СPM and Nexign experts helped T-Mobile replace its Diameter Routing Agent (DRA) solution across the operator's entire subscriber base (6 million users).

Nexign DRA provides centralized traffic management over the Diameter protocol in 4G networks and routes messages between subscribers in real time. Such solutions are classified as Significant Objects of Critical Information Infrastructure (SO CII). They require regular updates to ensure correct operation under growing data consumption and network load, as well as to comply with security requirements.

The migration to Nexign DRA allowed T-Mobile to establish a foundation for stable, reliable, and uninterrupted operations. This is possible due to the flexibility of routing algorithms and intelligent load distribution. Thanks to the ability to customize algorithms and extend the logic of Nexign DRA independently, the operator can now flexibly manage network load. Additionally, the solution operates in Diameter Edge Agent (DEA) mode at the network edge, ensuring secure exchange of signaling traffic when interacting with mobile network operators (MNOs) and roaming partners.

The deployment project took over six months, including solution customization to meet T-Mobile's specific requirements and architecture, as well as seamless traffic migration.

CPM Company and Bauman Moscow State Technical University have confirmed their mutual interest in a long-term partnership aimed at developing domestic communication technologies and training engineering personnel. The cooperation includes guest lectures by experts, specialized internships, employment opportunities for students of the RK6 department, and the joint development of innovative projects.

The operation of the 5G test zone in the Kazan subway has been extended until mid-2022. The latest drive tests on site showed that peak data downloads exceed 4000 Mbps. In June 2021 Tele2 together with CPM system integrator, Cisco and Nokia, launched a 5G pilot zone at all underground stations of the Kazan subway. As part of the project a dedicated fifth-generation network infrastructure based on a Cisco solution packet core and a Nokia radio subsystem was deployed.

Cisco has implemented CUPS, a technology for separating control planes and transferring user data, which allows to achieve consistently high download speeds. Based on this solution Tele2 built highly scalable distributed core networks with the ability to move the data and application plane to the network edge, ensuring minimal connection speed / network delays. The joint team of specialists was quick and efficient in solving the many non-standard technical tasks on integrating the test zone into the existing infrastructure of the telecom operator. The launch of the 5G network in such a complex infrastructure facility was implemented with the support of the government of the Republic of Tatarstan.

Today Tele2 subscribers that own smartphones with 5G support and for whom Tatarstan is their home region can test ultra-high-speed Internet at all underground stations of the Kazan subway. Subscribers of other mobile operators can test the speed of the 5th generation technology at the Kremlevskaya station. To connect one needs to select the “Tele2WiFi5G” network in the Wi-Fi access settings. The 5G network works both on the platform and near the station’s entrances.

Ravil Khaibullin, Director of the macro-region "Volga" at Tele2 says: “The results of the first stage of testing show the stable interest of users in the new technology; subway passengers are actively used 5G. There are currently no fifth-generation commercial networks in Russia and device penetration is still low. However, it is already possible to evaluate the possibilities of the new communication standard, both in terms of subscriber activity and the needs of business and government entities. This is especially true in connection with the exponential growth of mobile Internet consumption on the current 4G infrastructure.”

CPM experts traditionally take part in the Wireless Russia & CIS international conference and were excited about the offline format in 2021. Last year the conference did not take place due to quarantine restrictions, and the organizers proposed holding two formats simultaneously: a remote online format and the usual face-to-face format, which is much more efficient in terms of communication between participants and is one of the most important features of such events.

The business forum was attended by all leading telecom operators (Rostelecom, MTS, Megafon, Tele2, Vimpelcom and others), representatives of the largest of telecommunications solutions manufacturers (Nokia, Ericsson, Huawei, Qualcom, etc.), integrators, as well as delegates of international standardizing institutions (3GPP, ITU-T, GSA, GSMA). It is important to note the active participation of Russian manufacturers of telecommunication solutions, among which were SkolTech, GlobalInformService, Protei and others.

The forum focused on issues relevant to the Russian communications market and they were related to the development of 4G networks, planning and regulation of 5G networks, new technological solutions (e.g. Open RAN) and business approaches on creating and developing private networks (Private LTE / 5G) and IoT nodes. The tasks and principles of creating and filling new standards for 6G communication networks, import substitution issues and the launch status of Russian manufacturers’ communication solutions were also actively discussed.
