Fiber Optic Network Expansion to Continue in Remote Areas of Mongolia
Cellular networks reach 23.8 percent of Mongolia’s habitable land, with the remaining areas devoid of network connectivity. The Ministry of Digital Development, Innovation, and Communications of Mongolia (MDDIC) plans to expand network coverage in 74 bags this year, and 55 bags next year. Moreover, the MDDIC is preparing to launch a national satellite in 2027 to provide accessible communication services in remote areas. In this regard, Minister of the MDDIC Batarkhuu Tsend met with representatives from Mobicom Corporation to discuss further steps for ensuring network connectivity throughout the country. At the meeting, representatives from Mobicom Corporation raised the question of whether to continue the network installation work on terrestrial infrastructure or address the issue through the national satellite.
