A broadband network with a minimum data transfer rate of 25 Mbit/s will be built in Azerbaijan by the end of 2024, Aztelekom LLC (the national telecommunications operator) told Trend.
According to the company, over a million households in the country are provided with fast and uninterrupted fiber-optic Internet based on GPON technology which stands for Gigabit Passive Optical Networks.
Aztelekom LLC is the main operator of the Online Azerbaijan project, implemented jointly with several telecom operators on the basis of public-private partnership.
The project includes the construction of a fast and uninterrupted fiber-optic network based on GPON technology.
