Supported by Huawei, Aztelekom Achieves Near Nationwide Broadband Connectivity through "Online Azerbaijan"

BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Aztelekom, a part of AZCON Holding company, and Huawei announced today that the nation's "Online Azerbaijan" broadband connectivity strategy has covered 99.7% of Azerbaijan.

Up to 3 million households and businesses – both in major cities and remote villages – now have full access to high-speed Internet and digital services, with 2 million of those connected within the past two years. Today, virtually all of the nation's 10.45 million people have access to high-speed Internet.

"We approached this initiative not merely as a technological upgrade, but as a strategic investment aimed at reducing digital disparity, ensuring equitable access to digital services, and enabling the digital transformation of public services," said Hasan Omarov,
CEO of Aztelekom. "The 'Online Azerbaijan' megaproject is one of the largest infrastructure initiatives in our country's history. For the first time, citizens, regardless of their place of residence, are provided with equal access to high-speed, reliable Internet services and equal digital opportunities. Huawei's high technical potential, innovative solutions, and proven capability in delivering large-scale projects have played a critical role in the development of Azerbaijan's digital infrastructure. Building on the foundation of the 'Online Azerbaijan' megaproject, the deployment of advanced technologies such as 10G and 50G PON will further enable the delivery of ultra-fast, reliable, and high-capacity broadband services to homes and businesses in the near future."

Launched by the Ministry of Digital Development and Transport in 2021, the "Online Azerbaijan" initiative is aligned with government targets of increasing average Internet speeds on stable broadband network to 50 Mbps by 2025. Under its TECH4ALL digital inclusion program, Huawei has played a key role in infrastructure build out, including connecting some of the nation's most remote villages with all-optical gigabit fiber solutions.

"Huawei is committed to using its technologies and solutions to bridge the digital divide and enable an inclusive and sustainable digital world," said Cui Yangyang, Director of the TECH4ALL Program Office for Huawei. "Ensuring that everyone has access to high-speed Internet, no matter where they are located, unlocks opportunities for every citizen and empowers them to contribute to the nation's growing digital economy and prosperous future."
