Baku, Azerbaijan, Jan. 16
By Huseyn Valiyev – Trend:
Baku Telephone Communication LLC is preparing for the commercial launch of a wireless internet service using LTE (Long Term Evolution) technologies, a source close to the project told Trend Jan. 16.
The technology is at the stage of testing, and its commercial launch is expected by the end of the first quarter of 2018, according to the source.
“The LTE network presently covers Baku’s Bilgah settlement and nearby settlements,” the source noted. “For now, the number of base stations is only two. The number of base stations will be increased step by step and the outskirts of Baku, where it is difficult to lay optical lines, will be covered by the LTE network.”
