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
modernization 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 would continue with subsequent phases to further enhance
we are on the right path.” ZTE and Mobiuz said their partnership connectivity and digital services, although no details were given.
