The 5G rollout is a strategic investment into the future of Uzbekistan, aligning with the government's digital transformation agenda and the increasing demand for high-speed connectivity in the region. Improved connectivity, higher capacity and data rates enabled by 5G will support several areas including remote working, telemedicine, and smart city initiatives, as well as new services and applications across industries, fostering a digital ecosystem and driving economic growth in the country.
Dmitry Shukov, CEO at Perfectum, said: "Nokia's expertise and global reputation make them a trusted partner for the important task of starting the 5G era in Uzbekistan, and ensuring a successful deployment and long-term support for the network.
