Iranian Knowledge-Based Firm Uses Indigenized 4G Technology Equipment in Yazd Province
“The equipment we built is to be used in other provinces in addition to the villages of Yazd province,” said Ali Akbar Tadayyon, the managing director of the knowledge-based company.
“In addition to providing increased access to information and online resources for learning, launching high-speed internet in villages will empower all types of businesses, increase their competitiveness in the provincial and national arena, develop new technologies like artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things, stimulate innovation to create creative and new businesses, and as a result improve the quality of life in these areas,” he added.
“High-speed internet also helps to provide new educational platforms, enable online courses and webinars, increase digital tourism capabilities, develop and improve the use of modern health services, and create new jobs,” Tadayyon said.
Head of the Public Relations department of Iran’s Ministry of Communications and Information Technology had said in 2023 that 39 more remote villages had gained access to 3G-4G mobile phone internet.
Mohammad Ehsan Kharamid, advisor to the Iranian ICT minister and head of the ministry’s public relations department made the remarks in a post on his account on social networking websites.
"Since the start of the 13th government [under President Ebrahim Raeisi in Augusta 2021], 3G-4G mobile phone coverage has been supplied to more 39 remote villages that previously did not have access that technology."
"During the last 20 months, mobile phone coverage was upgraded to 3G-4G from the USO project budget earmarked for 104 rural areas with 6,521 households and 23,179 people," the ICT official further added.
