The National Data Transmission Backbone Project (AzDataCom) between the UN Development Program and Azerbaijan’s Ministry of Communications and Information Technologies will be completed and fully available in all regions of the country this year.
The project is a key scheme for establishment of infrastructure and framework for information society and e-government. The system will provide high-speed data transmission between Baku and provinces.
Telephone exchanges in Baku and Sumgait have already provided with data transmission at the rate of 10 Gbit/s.
The regional network will also be upgraded to 10 Gbit/s from 1 Gbit/s transmission rate.
AzDataCom Project is part of the National E-Governance Network Initiative launched in 2004 as a joint project between UNDP and the Ministry.
