Kyivstar initiates network modernization project

Kyivstar (KYIV) has initiated a large-scale network modernization project that will run throughout 2025-2026. The initiative aims to enhance service quality, expand 4G network capacity, and prepare infrastructure for fifth-generation mobile communications rollout. The company is prioritizing modernization of telecom sites with the heaviest traffic. Deploying equipment will increase network capacity and boost data transmission speeds while enabling new software features that allow significantly more data transfer within the same timeframe. This results in faster download speeds and stable service even under heavy network load. Kyivstar is currently analyzing initial results of already-completed work. The modernization effort began with sites most in need of upgrades, and those locations are now demonstrating an average increase of about 30% in data transfer speed and roughly 50% in network capacity.
