4G mobile service could be in all 52 stations of the Kyiv Metro by this time next year — if the Kyiv City Council sets tariffs as a meeting on Thursday, Alexander Komarov, Kyivstar CEO, said at a 4G test launch last week at Akademistechko station, the western terminus of the Red Line. With 4G, the total investment in the Metro by Ukraine’s big three mobile operators – Kyivstar, Vodaphone Ukraine, and lifecell – will total $20 million, estimated Oleksander Kogut, Kyivstar’s director for regulatory support. Last summer, Chinese technology giant Huawei won the tender to supply the mobile equipment for the 69 km largely underground system, which is used by 1.3 million riders every weekday.
