Chinanews.com, Astana, December 20. According to a report by the Kazakhstan News Agency on the 19th, Kazakhstan's Minister of Digital Development, Innovation and Aerospace Industry Mushin said that the country is formulating a new national plan aimed at improving network quality.
According to the report, according to Musin, the new national plan aims to provide high-quality broadband network services to remote areas and national roads.
According to the plan, the household broadband access rate in Kazakhstan will reach 100% by 2027, and the national 5G network coverage will reach 75%.
In addition, on the economic front, the communications index will account for 2% of GDP by 2027.
Mu Xin said that connecting more than 3,000 residential areas to optical fiber networks is the main task of the national planning.
The country will provide special subsidies together with the World Bank to subsidize the costs of small and medium-sized operators.
Musin pointed out that laying fiber optics on national and interstate highways is the next major task.
According to him, on this basis, 4G broadband mobile Internet will be provided along the road.
At the same time, the country also plans to launch 5G mobile network services in 20 cities.
In this regard, Muxin said that in order to encourage Kazakhstan's domestic operators to invest in 4G and 5G technologies, the country will take measures to reduce their payment rates to zero.
According to the report, it is planned to install more than 3,500 base stations in Kazakhstan by 2027.
