Azercell is ready for the introduction of number portability service (MNP) [Turan Information Agency (Azerbaijan)]


(Turan Information Agency (Azerbaijan) Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) BAKU/24.01.14/Turan: The leading mobile operator and Internet service provider Azercell Telecom issued a press release about the trends in the market.

Today, the main trend of the market remains data- traffic growth in mobile operators' networks . It is promoted as an ever-increasing number of Internet users in general, and more attractive marketing offers mobile Internet access and the widest distribution of smartphones in the networks . But operators do not cease to focus on everyday services that are needed to subscribers , as well as services aimed at customer self-service and acquires a special popularity among young people who want to control their own costs and get service mode on-line. At the same time we are working on projects in the field of mobile financial services.



One of the sought-after in the current realities of the services become 4G. Wireless technology, the fourth generation is characterized by high data rate ( exceeding 100 Mbps even in motion) and high quality voice communications. In 2012, Azercell Telecom has announced the launch of Azerbaijan's first commercial network 4G (LTE), confirming once again its leadership in introducing new technologies to market. But the value of any technology people realize only when they realize that they can do and what changes they bring . Mobile broadband fourth generation is no exception. 4G technology is changing in many ways how to work with mobile devices and gives the idea of ??hot desking special appeal. Now it can be implemented in full, as new services become available through 4G, will undoubtedly help expand the client base and gain dynamics of any company. And the coverage of 4G will mean for companies not only an opportunity to reach more customers, but also improve the performance of their own work.

Practices networks 4G, which develops on the basis of characteristics such as speed, mobility and wireless broadband internet access away from the office or apartment (for example, you can participate in videoconferences , while in a taxi) , does not go to any comparison with the cost of wired broadband connection . Work with the necessary documents can be in the "cloud " display on meeting with a client in his office or out of office space . And this is just a small digression into opportunities offered by 4G. According to the opinion of many users, 4G technology is capable of twice or more to increase business. The ability to quickly convey information to large numbers of people, to show that you have to offer and where you are, is an incredibly effective tool. Not fewer opportunities is 4G also in terms of entertainment and recreation.


Just a year ago the balance when choosing a wireless mobile connection inclined in favor of 3G. This was due to the lack of acquisition opportunities such as smartphone or tablet that supports the connection of the fourth generation, as well as a small area of network coverage 4G. But currently available on the global market are more than 400 models of devices that support LTE standard 1800 MHz. Many of them are in the Azerbaijani market, including a network of offices Azercell Express. Also, as part of the exhibition Baku Tel which took place in December 2013, the operator announced the launch of voice services on its own network 4G. The total number of base stations Azercell has grown over the past year, more than 1,200 units , 265 of which are stations LTE. Because of this, 4G service from Azercell covered not only the whole capital , but most of the Absheron peninsula. Falling rapidly and the price of data- modem 4G, which now offered in a very profitable campaigns . The price of this modem is 54 AZN (VAT excluded) , but the user can purchase a modem for only 20 manats , using one of the internet packages offered twice within 60 days . Package selection until a small but satisfying the requirements of any user 25 Gb costs 30 manat, 50 Gb costs 45 AZN and 100 Gb costs 70 manat (including VAT). Most important is to calculate the needs of your business and purchase 4G USIM card.

Despite the obvious advantage over its competitors through the provision of standard 4G, Azercell is closely involved in the promotion of the market and other exciting technologies that benefit society. For example, in 2013 the company became the first mobile operator in Azerbaijan, which introduced a system of authenticating a mobile digital signature ASAN Imza. This made it possible for each subscriber to make electronic transactions without any fear . Another innovation is represented by an operator in 2013 - a technology M2M ( inter-machine interaction) . The technology has enormous potential in the banking sector , transport, security , healthcare , utilities on the market and in other areas. For example, one of the most active areas of development M2M market is to monitor the movement of objects ( transport , couriers , freight ) . Today Azercell conducted extensive research and technical work on the development of this area , and soon the operator plans to introduce new and useful services in this segment.

And if we broached the subject of M2M, it should be noted Azercell and interest in developing such a concept as the Internet of things (read the material in the last issue Infocity). In BakuTel 2013 Azercell presented his vision of how mobile technology can become products aimed at improving the quality of life of each of us. After SIM- card statement can appear in any device: in smart meters, which set subscribers JSC Bakielektrikshebeke, Azersu, etc. For example, to date, more than 20,000 smart meters Bakielektrikshebeke used SIM- card from Azercell. This allows subscribers to the on-line check the level of electricity consumption in the residential home or business. And this prospect is not limited to " smart home ", the example of which the concept and demonstrated at the exhibition. More and more mobile technology is used in business. "Our way of life and customer experience is increasingly dependent on access to internet technologies. We have to communicate primarily through Internet applications and the entire telecommunications industry is moving in this new direction. Certainly, the future is for the latest generation technologies. We will continue to make efforts to ensure that our customers have always been on a wave of innovation and use the latest developments in the industry, " - said the president of Azercell Telecom Cyril Gaburici.

Today Azercell is ready for service implementation of number portability (MNP), which is expected to launch in the near future. On the implementation of this project the best specialists of the operator worked for 1.5 years. The rich experience of the largest Scandinavian mobile operator TeliaSonera Group, which also includes the Azerbaijani operator, helped certainly. During the preparation was carried out on an incredible scale project to expand the network and improve the quality of communication. Azercell is sure that subscribers interested in becoming new members of the 4.5-million family will gain positive experience and feel the specificity of high-quality service. For subscribers as such an opportunity will result additional advantages, since the launch of MNP services only encourages competition, which in this situation would be key to the continued development and growth, and force operators to do everything possible in order to provide customers with the best services. - 17D-       (c) 2014 Turan News Agency.
