In January–February 2026, MegaFon Tajikistan reprotedly commissioned around 30 new 4G/LTE base stations and began upgrading its voice communication infrastructure.
According to press release issued by the company, the new base stations have been deployed across all regions of the country. In the Sughd province, the network was reportedly strengthened in Buston, Panjakent, and Khujand, as well as in the districts of Ayni, Devashtich, Zafaroboad, and Istaravshan. In the Khatlon province, upgrades were carried out in the Qubodiyon and Farkhor districts.
In the Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous Region (GBAO), new equipment was reportedly installed in the Murgab district.
The project also covered Dushanbe, Vahdat, Hisor, Tursunzoda, and the districts of Varzob, Rasht, and Roudaki.
In areas where new base stations were launched, mobile internet speeds reportedly increased by two to three times.
The press release says the expansion of the 4G network not only boosts data speeds but also improves voice communication quality. Users now have access to VoLTE calls with clearer sound. According to the company, the share of VoLTE users has grown from 5% to 15% over the past year.
At the same time, the company is reportedly modernizing voice switches and the core network (CS Core), including software and hardware upgrades and architectural optimization. These measures enhance network stability under peak loads, reduce call setup time, and improve call quality.
“Digitalization in Tajikistan is a step-by-step process made up of many small improvements. Each new base station and every kilometer of fiber-optic lines brings us closer to this goal,” said Alijon Ghaniyev, Technical Director of MegaFon Tajikistan.
