At the current exhibition Bakutel-2018, we announced the service SazzTV, the successful tests of which were conducted with several companies. The launch of this service, which will be based on OTT, is expected in the first quarter of 2019. Custom devices (Set-Top-Box) will be offered for connection to SazzTV subscribers.

"I believe that SazzTV is one of the interesting parts of TriplePlay concept that we want to offer to our users. TriplePlay concept includes three services: IP Telephony voice communication, television and data transmission. It will allow to expand the number of connections to telephony mainly in the places where bringing the cable is not economically feasible. Now we are planning to test IP Telephony service in one of the villages in Baku. Successful tests will allow us to expand the geography of its coverage throughout the Absheron Peninsula.

" During the process of switching from one network to another, preferences will be offered to users. The very same LTE network will be improved in terms of increasing bandwidth and expanding the coverage area. Our plans for 2019 include expansion of the geography up to 95 percent on the Absheron Peninsula, and using MU LTE technology, we will be able to increase the data transfer rate of one antenna sector to 220 Mbps. In 2019, we also plan to double the capacity of the network, and in 2020, to make a smooth transition to 5G fix wireless network. Thus, the data transfer rate in Sazz network will reach 1 Gbit / s," said Mollazade.

Currently, according to the President of Sazz, world-famous telecommunications operators such as Verizon, AT & T, Softbank Mobile, Docomo, China Mobile and others are preparing for the transition to 5G.
