MegaFon Tajikistan says it has made good progress in modernising and expanding its telecoms network during the first half of this year, including 4G upgrades, core support for VoLTE, fibre transport deployments, and a 5G test. In a report issued Thursday, MegaFon Tajikistan said that it upgraded 47 base stations between January and June 2026 by deploying additional 4G frequency bands, particularly the 2600-MHz band. The telco also launched new base stations in 23 settlements in Tajikistan, and installed 85 additional 4G modules on previously launched BS sites in those settlements. Megafon Tajikistan also reported that it’s done a lot of work on its core network so far this year, such as expanding the capabilities of the VoLTE platform. "The main feature of the half-year was an integrated approach: we simultaneously expanded the radio network, strengthened the transport infrastructure and modernized the core of the network,” said MegaFon Tajikistan CEO Anatoly Izyumnikov in a statement.
