ZTE announced on Tuesday that it has completed the first phase a network modernisation project for telecoms provider Mobiuz in the autonomous Republic of Karakalpakstan and the Khorezm region in Uzbekistan.
According to ZTE, the project included the replacement of radio relay systems and base stations, along with the activation of over 1,200 new base stations across both regions.
ZTE also said the upgrades are already yielding improvements in service quality and connectivity for residents and businesses in both regions. For example, according to independent tests by the Republican Center for Telecommunication Networks Control of Uzbekistan, internet speeds are 20% faster in Karakalpakstan and 33% faster in the Khorezm region. Meanwhile, the boost in network capacity has resulted in data traffic rising by 36% and 34% respectively.
“Our advanced equipment and expertise have enabled a future-proof network infrastructure that will serve the people of Karakalpakstan and Khorezm for years to come,” said Wang Guangdong, CEO of ZTE Uzbekistan, in a statement.
Mobiuz CEO Sobir Aripov said the modernisation project isn’t just about technology or investment. “It's about our children receiving a good education, doctors utilizing modern opportunities, and entrepreneurs accessing new markets. The outstanding results in Karakalpakstan and Khorezm confirm we are on the right path.”
ZTE and Mobiuz said their partnership would continue with subsequent phases to further enhance connectivity and digital services, although no details were given.
