Korean company wants to take part in the cabling activities being conducted across the entire territory of Azerbaijan

The Ministry of Communications and Information Technologies of the Republic of Azerbaijan has held a meeting with representatives of South Korean “LS Cable & System” company.

Heads of departments of the Ministry of Communications and Information Technologies (MCIT) and representatives of Aztelekom and Baktelekom Production Units took part in the activity. The head of the Marketing Department of “LS Cable & System” company Jon Jeong provided the gathering with information about the company which he was representing at the meeting.

He said that “LS Cable & System” company produces different types of cables that are used in the spheres of telecommunication and power energy supply. “The company has around 40 divisions and manufactures a wide range of products. It has 36 factories in 26 countries across the world. The company occupies the first place in the international market in terms of the production of various types of fiber-optic cables and the quality of its products. Company’s field of activity is not only limited to the production of cables. We also carry out design and construction activities to bring the internet to homes.

In the first place we prepare a digital map based on the location of a residential building and the number of flats. Then, we start drawing designs. We are well-aware of the large-scale projects that have been realized in Azerbaijan in the telecommunication sphere. And we want to take an active part in the cabling activities which are being currently implemented across the entire territory of the country.

One of the advantages of the equipments produced by our company is that their capacity can be increased whenever it is needed.” The head of the Department for Coordination of Public Institution Activities of MCIT Mir-Heydar Ismayilov, in his turn, noted that fiber-optic cables are now being laid across the entire territory of Azerbaijan. He said that the project is being jointly implemented by MCIT and the State Oil Fund.

M. Ismayilov said that MCIT will consider the proposals made by the representatives of “LS Cable & System” company. He suggested that the South Korean company, which still doesn’t have its own factory in Azerbaijan, builds a cable plant in the territory of the industrial park, which is currently being built in Azerbaijan.

In his turn, Jon Jeong said “LS Cable & System” company will consider this proposal, taking into account Azerbaijan’s geographical location and the existence of a large market in the region.
