According to TeleGeography Belarusian national PTO Beltelecom says that by next year, it will have connected 100,000 apartments in the capital Minsk to its Gigabit-capable Passive Optical Networks (GPON).
According to Dmitry Doroshko, chief engineer of the telco’s ‘Minsk City Telephone Network’ branch, the GPON upgrade supports ultra-high speed connections of up to 1Gbps and will deliver triple-play – television, broadband access and voice telephony – on a single cable. Work on the build-out of the GPON began in Minsk in 2011 and today, the technology is available in all new buildings.
