Telecom Armenia 4G Network
In July 2016 the company begun rolling out 4G LTE services on the B31 (450 MHz) band, refarming its existing 450 MHz spectrum licences. B31 (450 MHz) is a popular choice due to the sparsely populated environment and challenging terrain the company frequently operates in. Telecom Armenia (then Beeline) began rolling out a more conventional B3 (1800 MHz) LTE service in September 2016, using a 10 MHz channel to provide up to 65 Mbps DL.
