T-Mobile launches a transmitter on Mount Sněžka

The operator has prepared a small surprise for hiking enthusiasts before the summer: on Monday, 20 June, it launched an LTE (including 2G and 3G) transmitter which is installed on the Post Office building located on Mount Sněžka, one of the most popular mountains with tourists not only in the Krkonoše Mountains but also the neighbouring European mountain ranges. In the high season, up to ten thousand tourists visit the Czech Republic’s highest mountain daily.

Installation of the transmitter took four days and the weather conditions made it very difficult for the technicians – during those four days, it became apparent how unstable the weather can be in the mountains. Throughout the installation, the technicians were also supervised by a very interesting visitor (see the picture below).

Last year, T-Mobile launched LTE on 2,112 transmitters; this year, it is working on finalising the coverage of most of the country’s territory. Among other things, the operator is focusing on providing quality coverage on roads and railways and at mass events. LTE is currently available to 87% of the Czech Republic’s population and super-fast internet (3G and LTE) to 97% of the population. LTE services are used by 736,000 T-Mobile customers.      

T-Mobile Czech Republic, a member of the international telecommunications group Deutsche Telekom, has almost 6.2 million customers, the number-one operator in the Czech market. T-Mobile is an integrated operator: in addition to telecommunications services, it offers comprehensive ICT solutions not only for companies, but also for other organizations and individuals. It provides outstanding services in the high-speed network, which was proved repeatedly by benchmark testing performed by umlaut (former P3) with Best-in-Test seal.

T-Mobile Czech Republic places emphasis on taking a responsible approach to the environment and society. It adheres to fair business practices, helps beneficial applications and services to see the light of day, supports non-profit organizations, small businesses and individuals, and lends a helping hand whenever crisis situations arise.
