The development of information and communication infrastructure continues

The Ministry of Communications and Informatization, together with communications organizations, is actively working on the development of information and communications infrastructure to meet the growing needs of the state, business and citizens for modern telecommunications services. Currently, 167 operators have licenses in the field of telecommunications.

One of the key areas is the transition of subscribers to the IMS platform from RUE Beltelecom, which allows providing a wide range of telecommunications services over one line. At the end of the reported quarter, 3.78 million subscribers were connected to the platform, which is 8.4 thousand more than at the beginning of the year. The construction of multiservice networks not only improves the quality of services, but also optimizes costs.

With the increase in the number of connections to broadband access, the external channel bandwidth for Internet access also grows. In the first half of 2024, it increased by 130 Gbps and amounted to 3.760 Gbps. Work also continues on upgrading data transmission networks using GPON technology, which allows for speeds of up to 100 Mbps. As of July 1, 2024, about 2.99 million subscribers were connected using this technology.

The development of the LTE network also continues, the coverage of the population with LTE services was 99%. The number of wireless broadband subscribers at the end of the first half of 2024 reached 8.77 million with a penetration of 95.78 per 100 residents.
