Baku hosts third meeting of EPEG Consortium

Today, Baku hosts the third meeting of “Europe Persia Express Gateway” (EPEG) Consortium.

Delivering speech at the event Deputy Prime Minister Abid Sharifov noted that very large capacity, high-quality communication channels will be delivered from Europe to Oman – starting from Germany’s Frankfurt city through Poland, Ukraine, Russia, Azerbaijan, Iran and Oman. “This route is the shortest way – alternative of undersea cables between Europe and Asia. Azerbaijan has been selected both as a main and reserve transit route in this project”.

To him, Delta Telecom company, which participates in the project on the Azerbaijani side, has great potential: “By taking successful implementations of several projects in this sphere, we believe that the company will cope with this project too”. Delta Telecom has special role in that Azerbaijan takes the leading places in global rating indicators for network technologies”.

Note that, the event has been attended by representatives of “Rostelekom” (Russia), “Telekom İnfrastruktur Kompaniyasi” (Iran), “Omantel“(Oman) and “Cable and Wireless” (England).

Remind that, the first meeting of the consortium was held in Tehran, the second in Moscow.
