As of April 1, the National Radio Frequency Management Service will carry out a broad campaign to measure the quality parameters of the electronic communications services accessible to the population that are provided through public mobile phone networks. Minister of Economy and Infrastructure Kiril Gaburici made a visit to the Service to assess and verify the technical equipment possessed by this, IPN reports.
In a press release, the Ministry of Economy and Infrastructure said the National Radio Frequency Management Service as from April 1 can check the services provided by mobile phone carriers all over the country based on a number of performance criteria. The inspections will cover 1,499 localities and 186 national roads with a length of almost 12,000 km. These will last for six months. “The users of services are a priority for us and we want to be sure that they use high-quality services. I’m sure that the operators also want to provide high-quality services,” stated the minister.
Kiril Gaburici expressed his satisfaction with the fact that the Service already has the laboratories needed to provide more services and diversifies this way its source of revenues. “It is important to be able to provide such services not only on the market of the Republic of Moldova, but also to business entities from outside the country, from Romania and Ukraine,” stated the minister.
To carry out a comparative analysis of the quality of services and networks of mobile phone carriers, all the measurements will be taken simultaneously in the same localities, using the same equipment. There will be assessed the call blocking rate, the interrupted calls rate, the quality of voice evaluated according to MOS-LQO, the SMS delivery rate, the voice services coverage rate, the average data transfer speed and others.
Based on these measurements, studies to assess the quality of mobile electronic communications services will be carried out, offering thus end-users correct and objective information about the quality of services and networks through which these services are provided.
