OREANDA-NEWS. September 08, 2009. Company TTK announced the completion of a project with Delta Telecom, one of the biggest internet providers in Azerbaijan, which saw it upgrade the company’s IP bandwidth access to the global Internet to 2.5Gbps, reported the press-centre of TTK.

In a separate project, the two companies are in the final stages of construction of a10Gbps DWDM interconnection node between their two networks, which will offer greater opportunity for the international business community to access this growing CIS market.

“We are actively involved in ICT and broadband development all over Azerbaijani territory, including many distant and difficult-to-access mountainous areas. To do this, we are increasing our co-operation and partnerships with major operators from neighboring countries to satisfy ever-increasing customer demand for telecommunication services,” said Delta Telecom CEO Ramzan Valiev.

“Our work with TTK is a key element of this expansion strategy, and TTK has proved itself to be a valuable and flexible partner, able to respond quickly to the challenges posed by the Azerbaijani regional telecommunications market, and to provide 360-degree service and support.”

“The Caspian region, central Asia and the Middle East countries play an important part in TTK’s international plans,” explained TTK’s Valery Rostokin, VP for International Sales. “We are systematically stepping-up our operations as the leading regional supplier of international IP-bandwidth and leased capacity, as well as voice traffic termination.”

“Local economies, particularly that of Azerbaijan, are maintaining their high growth rates in the face of the global financial crisis, and this growth is closely linked to the implementation of major infrastructure projects in the energy, transportation and telecommunications industries where our partner Delta Telecom is active.”

TTK and Delta Telecom have a two-year history of co-operation in infrastructure build-out and international voice and data traffic routing. In August 2008, TTK began provisioning IP Access services along the Russo-Azerbaijani border at the Samu-Yaloma trans-border interconnection node. Simultaneously, talks are underway to secure transit capacity that will allow TTK to access the countries of the Middle East via secure, redundant and speedy terrestrial networks.
