The award was presented to Mr.Hasan Omarov, Acting CEO of Aztelekom LLC, and recognises the company’s commitment to expanding its next-generation digital infrastructure. The Gigacity Champion is one of the WBBA’s significant awards designed to recognize leading efforts that accelerate the development of broadband services and support cities in achieving Gigacity status.

“This recognition serves as an international validation of the progress Aztelekom has made in providing high-speed connectivity to cities and regions across the country. It is a strong testament to our long-term vision and commitment to advancing Azerbaijan’s digital transformation.”
This is the third major international award received by Aztelekom in the past year.
