AzQtel LLC first launched its 4G network in Azerbaijan in 2007. The following year, the company began offering high-speed Internet services based on Mobil WiMax technologies. As a result of its successful activities, AzQtel has managed to occupy a leading spot on the Azerbaijani telecommunications market within a short period of time. This proves that the company’s development is heading in the right direction. AzQtel’s 4G Mobile WiMAX technology is a means of wireless communication. The technology provides tremendous opportunities in terms of high-speed wireless data transmission and additional Internet services. Our current line of services aside, we are a company that is constantly growing.
AzQtel recently finished upgrading and expanding its network. As a result, we are now able to offer high quality 4G wireless Internet services to most areas on the Absheron Peninsula.
Our upgraded and expanded network is now offered to users under our new trademark, SAZZ. The services offered under the SAZZ brand allow users to connect to the Internet with a speed of 10 Mb/sec. Our 4G Mobile WiMAX network also enables SAZZ users to benefit from mobile Internet services that work just as fast as a dedicated Internet line. Our upgraded Mobile WiMAX network offers users additional services, as well as new equipment for connecting to the SAZZ network.
AzQtel regularly expands its coverage area and our ultimate goal is to cover all of Azerbaijan!
