Covering Disruptive Technology Powering Business in The Digital Age

ZTE Corporation, a global leading provider of integrated information and communication technology solutions, in partnership with Beeline Kazakhstan, a leading player in Kazakhstan’s telecoms industry and a subsidiary of VEON Group, has successfully completed the modernisation of the Beeline’s network in the Akmola and Turkestan regions, which lead in traffic consumption and cover 25% of the population of Kazakhstan.

This milestone was celebrated with an official launch event in Astana, titled “Giga City: Accelerating the digitalisation of Kazakhstan.”

ZTE Helps Modernise the Beeline Network

The project encompassed the modernisation of Beeline’s mobile network in the Akmola region (including Astana) and the Turkestan region (including Shymkent), involving more than 1,800 base stations. Additionally, FDD Massive MIMO technology has been introduced in major cities. The implementation of this solution resulted in substantial 4G throughput growth for subscribers, significantly enhancing service quality. Notably, the modernisation project using ZTE equipment was completed ahead of schedule.

Kaan Terzioglu, Chief Executive Officer at VEON Group, said, “I truly believe that with our strategy of digital operators, we will not only delight our customers with our telecom services like in the GIGA City project, but we will also provide them financial services, entertainment, education, and healthcare—and we will not stop there. We would like to thank ZTE for the successful partnership with Beeline Kazakhstan in this radio network modernisation project. The high-quality results will help achieve the digitalization goals we have for Kazakhstan.”

“As an important participant in the digital transformation in Kazakhstan, Beeline has always been at the forefront of introducing innovative products and solutions to improve connectivity and empower people in the digital world. Rapid growth in data traffic consumption continues in Kazakhstan. This requires a more efficient 4G network to meet increasing network capacity demands while delivering a better user experience. The FDD Massive MIMO solution is a right way to optimise the modern 4G network,” said Evgeniy Nastradin, Chief Executive Officer at Beeline.

“Kazakhstan is an important market for ZTE Corporation,” said Mr. Xu Ziyang, Chief Executive Officer at ZTE Corporation. “The Giga City project, implemented in collaboration with Beeline in the Akmola and Turkestan regions, demonstrated our capability to effectively solve complex technical problems on a live network. We organized a comprehensive modernisation of the radio network infrastructure, including preparation for its future evolution. This will enable the operator to significantly reduce operating costs due to more energy-efficient equipment and the capability for remote site management. We are committed to accelerating the digitalization of Kazakh society, bringing more digital services to all Kazakh people, and accelerating the country’s digital economic growth in partnership with Beeline.”
