The leader mobile operator expands its coverage either above- or underground

As a result of easing the rules of the special quarantine regime, the Baku Subway system which resumed passenger traffic after a 226-day break, is now fully serving the population of the capital. During this period, the country's leading mobile operator Azercell Telecom has continued to work to expand the capacity and coverage of its network on the platforms and tunnels of Baku underground stations.

In general, Azercell continues to improve its 4G network in 2021 in order to provide all its subscribers with a more stable network and higher speed internet. Due to the work done, since the beginning of this year, the coverage of Azercell's 4G network has also been significantly expanded underground - along the subway stations of the capital. So, 4G network is already active at 19 stations: Neftchilar, Gara Garayev, Koroglu, Hazi Aslanov, Ahmadli, Khalglar Dostlughu, Ulduz, Nariman Narimanov, Ganjlik, 28 May, Nizami, Elmlar Akademiyasi, Inshaatchilar, 20 Yanvar, Memar Ajami, Memar Ajami 2 (Purple line), Nasimi, Sahil, and Ichari Shahar stations. In addition, you can already use Azercell's high-speed mobile internet in the tunnels of 11 stations: Neftchilar, Gara Garayev, Koroglu, Ulduz, Nariman Narimanov, Ganjlik, 28 May, Nizami, Elmlar Akademiyasi, Sahil, Ichari Shahar. Work is underway to expand Azercell's high-quality 4th generation network to the remaining stations and tunnels of the Baku Underground. In the near future, all stations of our expanding subway will be covered by Azercell 4G network.

2G, 3G and 4G technologies, which are currently available to passengers, allow subscribers to freely use voice calls and mobile internet, which allows uninterrupted network connection not only at the stations themselves, but also in the tunnels during movement of the trains between these stations. Now passengers can enjoy a variety of mobile internet content and mobile applications, and even watch mobile TV and movies while moving in the trains.

According to benchmarking research conducted by Ericsson, a world-class telecommunications company, currently Azercell is the "Best in class" operator in the relevant category for the speed of mobile internet.
