The possibility of providing low-frequency range (700 and 800 MHz) wireless communication to companies with wider coverage for mobile broadband technologies will be considered in Azerbaijan, Trend reports.
This is reflected in the concept and forecast indicators of the economic and social development of Azerbaijan for 2021 and the next three years, included in the budget package of 2021.
Given the limited spectrum resource, the data suggests that wireless companies will make better use of the existing signal spectrum.
