A subsidiary of Russian mobile operator, Vimpelcom, Beeline will reportedly partner with equipment vendor, Nokia Siemens Networks (NSN), for the deployment in Altay, Adygeya, Astrakhan and Kalmykia.
In the Kaliningrad region, ZTE will supply the equipment; Huawei is the expected tender for the deployment in Ingusetia, and in central Russia, Ericsson will be the official supplier.
In April this year, Vimpelcom reportedly sold its 90% indirect stake in Beeline to domestic businessman Huot Vanthan.
