Team Telecom Armenia to be first in  region to replace 2G  with  advanced technologies

ArmInfo. Team Telecom Armenia has announced the launch of a new large-scale project to optimize and modernize its mobile network.

As reported by the company's press service,  to significantly  connectivity and enhance digital security across Armenia, the company  will decommission its 2G network starting November 15, 2025.  < The  second-generation mobile network, launched in Armenia 30 years ago in  1995, no longer meets today's technological requirements. It is time  to replace it with advanced solutions that ensure safer digital  communications and more efficient coverage.

The frequencies, infrastructure, equipment, and software resources  freed up after the shutdown of 2G will make it possible to rapidly  expand 4G and 5G coverage nationwide, including in remote areas. More  than 1,000 of the company's base stations will operate exclusively on  modern technologies, providing subscribers with more reliable and  faster mobile and internet access.>

According to the report, more than 1,000 of the company's base  stations will operate exclusively on modern technologies, providing  subscribers with more reliable and faster mobile and internet access.

Team Telecom Armenia CEO Hayk Yesayan noted that, recognizing the  importance of timely optimization and the deployment  of the latest  technologies, the company is ready to take on this responsibility,  making innovative solutions even more accessible to subscribers.  he said.

Under the 2G network, subscribers had virtually no access to mobile  internet services, limiting the use of modern communication tools.  Next-generation networks not only enable simultaneous use of both  voice and internet services, but are also far more energy-efficient,  helping reduce environmental impact.
