"We keep developing the network infrastructure - expanding the
coverage, increasing the network capacity and the like. Last year we invested
around EUR 10 million in development of the network infrastructure. More than
30% of the investments were made in expansion of the 4G network," said Aigars Sprukulis, the head of the
Network Department at Bite Latvija.
In 2017, Bite Latvija introduced
4G technology in 125 base stations throughout Latvia, including in 41
newly-built 3G/4G base stations, and its 4G coverage now extends to 75% of
Latvia's territory.
In the next few months the company intends to upgrade all existing base
stations to 4G. Other plans include construction of over 60 new base stations
to cover 100% of Latvia's territory.
At present Bite Latvija has 750
base stations across Latvia, of which more than 600 have already been upgraded
to 4G.
In 2016, Bite Latvija group
posted EUR 79.668 million in turnover, up 16.8% year-on-year, and its profit
rose 30.6% to EUR 8.645 million.
