Huawei, a leading global information and communications technology (ICT) solutions provider, recently announced that its GSM-R solution has won the bid for the Turkmenistan Buzhun-Serehtyaka and Bereket-Cilmammet integrated railway communications project, which will soon commence. Following the successful implementation of GSM-R technologies in Turkmenistan’s Turkmenbasy-Ashgabat (east-west) Line and Cilmammet-Buzhun (south-north) Line in 2012, the new project marks another breakthrough of Huawei’s GSM-R technologies in the Turkmenistan railway industry.
Turkmenistan has long been an important transportation hub at the heart of Eurasia, with a total of 3,600 km of railway lines. The transportation industry holds special significance to the country’s economic welfare. However, Tu

Etisalat has collaborated with Parallel Wireless, Intel and Supermicro to deliver Central Asia’s first cloud-native O-RAN compliant 5G 4G 3G 2G Open RAN solutions in Afghanistan.
Mobile broadband penetration in Afghanistan has seen significant growth over the past years, hitting 22% in 2013 from 1% in 2013. While mobile broadband is still in its early stages of development, growth is expected in 2022.
However, with margins tight, operators in Central Asia need new strategies to cut CAPEX and OPEX. Hardware-defined 2G, 3G and 4G networks are both expensive to deploy and operate, and run the risk of vendor lock-in. Open RAN solutions are therefore an appealing prospect for operators in these regions and other emerging markets.
