The results of the work in 2022

For the personnel of Beltelecom, the year began with an important event - the operator received a license to provide cellular mobile telecommunications services. Mobile communication has become a new vector of development which would maintain innovation. In December the enterprise first offered a package of services using LTE technology, thanks to which subscribers will be able to use modern services, where it was previously technically impossible.

In 2022, Beltelecom continued to modernize its telecommunications infrastructure with the creation of new generation networks. Particular attention was paid to the development of reliable and affordable communications in the most remote corners. All settlements with more than 100 households and 75% of settlements with 50 to 100 households are provided with a fiber optic access.

Over the past year, 7.3 thousand km of fiber-optic lines were built, the technical feasibility to connect 164.4 thousand GPON subscribers was ensured.
