North is in touch: MegaFon has increased network capacity for eco-tourists in the Nizhny Novgorod region.

      March 26, 2026 14:12 Society Engineers of the operator activated an additional frequency range and conducted refarming on telecom equipment in the city of Uren in the Nizhny Novgorod region. This allowed for an immediate 30% increase in data transmission speeds on the smartphones of residents and numerous guests of this district center. The administrative center of the Uren municipal district is located 200 kilometers north of Nizhny Novgorod. The city, with a population of 12,000, is called the "capital of villages," and folk crafts are well developed here. The region is famous for its picturesque nature, excellent fishing spots, and mushroom hunting. All this attracts eco-tourists and residents of large cities planning to take a break from urban hustle. In addition, Uren is home to the Northern Interdistrict Medical Center, which combines hospitals from four nearby districts, where approximately 58,000 people live in total. It is in this location that MegaFon engineers carried out modernization work on telecom equipment. To expand coverage and accelerate mobile internet, the operator utilized a high-frequency range, which is most effective for increasing network capacity. Now, thousands of subscribers can simultaneously use high-speed internet, while download speeds will remain high, allowing for easy uploading of large files, streaming videos online, conducting business negotiations, and solving any other digital tasks. "The northern part of the region has enormous economic and tourist potential, and we are proactively 'boosting' connectivity in areas where investors will arrive tomorrow, while new social projects are already being launched. Last year, we worked in Tonshaev and Shakhunya, and at the beginning of this year, we reached Uren and the Krasnobakovsky district. Moreover, modernization is taking place not only in district centers but also in small settlements. One of them is the village of Krasnogor on the banks of the Vetluga River, which has only 20 residents, but they already have high-speed internet and reliable connectivity," said Alexey Mikhailov, director of MegaFon in the Nizhny Novgorod region.
