In Azerbaijan, about 650 thousand households are provided with a quick and uninterrupted fiber -optic Internet based on GPON (Gigabit Passive Optical Networks).
Considering the last trend in the technology of optical cables, the GPON provides high -speed data without traditional copper cables and uninterrupted operation, regardless of weather conditions.
Although the construction of a fiber -optic network using this technology in Azerbaijan was first begun in 2017, since 2021 it has found wider application. So, the number of households covered by the optical-winning network in 2017-2020 was 227 thousand. In 2021-2022, a fiber-optic network for 422 thousand households was built. To date, in Azerbaijan, 649 thousand households are provided with fiber -optic Internet Internet.
The construction of a quick and uninterrupted fiber-optic network based on GPON technology in the country is carried out as part of the online Azerbaijan project. The main goal of the project is to build by the end of 2024 a network of broadband access, covering the whole country, with a minimum Internet speed of 25 Mbps, due to the joint efforts of a number of telecommunication operators.
The main operator of the Aztelecom LLC project is working in the direction of updating the telecommunication infrastructure and its bringing into line with modern international standards. Currently, providing high -speed Internet with the help of GPON and other broadband technologies continues in 60 areas and cities, including Baku, Absheron, Shamkir, Jalilabad, Tovuz, Gazahe.
Azerbaijani citizens returning to their native lands in the liberated territories are also provided with stationary telephone connection and high -speed Internet. In addition, a modern digital connection reaches the highest villages. So, for example, schoolchildren living in remote mountain villages, like Lagich and Khinalyg, can easily connect to the lesson in the online form using high-speed fiber-optic Internet.
