Chiril Gaburici, CEO, Azercell, said: “The need to keep up with constantly changing consumer demands led us to make the largest yearly network investment we have made since we started operations in 1996.”
The investment is important for Azercell as Azerbaijan is becoming a hub for IT and telecom.
Pardun Oguz, head of Ericsson Azerbaijan, said: “The RBS 6000 portfolio provides cost-effective deployment and a future-proof evolution in capacity and functionality. Azercell will be able to maintain stable, high-quality network performance, delivering high-quality connections and services.”
Recently, Ericsson has deployed a pilot 4G network for the Eurovision Song Contest 2012 in the capital city, Baku, for which Azercell was one of the sponsors.
