BISHKEK, Kyrgyzstan, November 6. Kyrgyzstan
ranks first in mobile network accessibility among Central Asian
nations, Trend
reports, citing data from ITU DataHub.
99.2 percent of the country’s population is covered by 4G mobile
networks. Out of 2,227 settlements across the country, 2,210 have
access to 4G services.
Only 13 settlements remain without mobile coverage—seven in the
Issyk-Kul region, three in Jalal-Abad, two in Osh, and one in
Naryn—according to official reporting documentation.
The data portal shows that 4G coverage in neighboring countries
stands at 97 percent in Uzbekistan, 91.6 percent in Kazakhstan, 80

off in Uzbekistan in July 2010, when MTS rolled out a trial LTE
network in Tashkent, marking a significant step in bringing
high-speed mobile internet to the region.
