Ukraine’s digital operator lifecell has launched a cutting-edge
4.5G network in Ukraine. Today, lifecell became the first operator
to provide fourth-generation connection services nationwide. As a
result of a well-considered bidding strategy, lifecell obtained the
largest amount of spectrum per user in Ukraine; this means the best
user experience for the operator’s subscribers and secures the
lifecell’s leadership in 4.5G services.
4.5G by lifecell is the fourth-generation mobile Internet that
is based on LTE Advanced Pro technology. This technology enables
the operator to provide up to 5 times faster than 3G download
speeds and up to 10 times faster upload speeds. The 4.5G technology
also ensures immediate reaction time of websites and applications.
For lifecell subscribers, it means even faster data transfers,
experiencing the best digital services, access to financial
services, watching HD video with no delay, playing online games of
any complexity, and more convenient remote work for business users.
New technology will continue to drive the development of IoT, M2M,
Smart City, e-Government, m-Health, "smart" house, etc.
Each lifecell subscriber will receive a gift of one free week of
4.5G traffic usage. To enjoy the fastest mobile Internet in
Ukraine, a 4G/LTE SIM card (USIM-card) and a smartphone supporting
at least 4G/LTE are required. lifecell subscribers may check the 4G
readiness of their smartphones and SIM cards by dialing *455# short
number and by calling 5433 (for free), as well as via the My
lifecell application or online at https://4g.lifecell.ua.
Apart from 4G, (LTE) standard support USIM has many other
advantages – especially, higher security protection and larger
volume of memory. With the key benefit of increased memory, users
can save a long list of contact details with expanded data
(multiple contact phone numbers and email addresses) to the USIM
address book.
For subscriber convenience, lifecell will not design special
pricing for 4.5G traffic. 3G+ traffic and 4.5G will be charged the
same rates. Subscribers will be able to select their technology
preference in their phone’s settings.
Additionally, all residents of Ukraine’s oblast centers may
sample the benefits of 4.5G service and receive special gifts at
lifecell promotional events, which will soon take place in the
central areas of all regional centers.

The second wave of deployment of 4.5G in the 1800 MHz band is
expected in July 2018.
