Azerbaijan and Turkey have agreed on a procedure of using GSM frequency resources in the border areas of Nakhichevan Autonomous Republic and Turkey, chief adviser of the department on telecommunications under the Azerbaijani Ministry of Communications and Information Technologies Gulam Abdullayev told Trend.
He said that the representatives of three Azerbaijani mobile operators (Azercell, Bakcell and Azerfon) and three Turkish companies (Turkcell, Avea and Vodafone) attended the event.
"The parties signed a protocol on the equitable use of channels of the frequency spectrum 900 and 1800 MHz for GSM-communication. It will eliminate the crossing of the frequency and ensure the normal functioning of mobile communications in the border area," Abdullayev said.
