State-owned telco Uzbektelecom, which operates as Uztelecom, announced on Thursday that it has launched its non-standalone (NSA) 5G network in all regional centres of Uzbekistan, and has teased plans to move ahead with 5G-Advanced technology soon.
Under that project, Uztelecom says it has modernized and commissioned over 3,500 base stations to date. The telco launched a 5G trial in April 2023 in the capital city of Tashkent that utilised over 60 5G base stations.
Thursday's launch makes Uztelecom the first telco in Uzbekistan to launch NSA 5G. However, recently-privatised rival telco Rubicon Wireless Communications, a.k.a. Perfectum, aims to be the first in the country – and all of Central Asia – to launch standalone (SA) 5G.
“Now residents and guests of Uzbekistan can enjoy the opportunity of new generation technologies.” Mansurov also said that Uztelecom will be “introducing a new step – the 5.5G standard” at next week's ICTWeek exhibition in Tashkent, but gave no further details.
