State-owned enterprise Beltelecom plans to take over the role of a national mobile operator. The company announced the new initiative as part of its ongoing development strategy.

Currently, the national telecommunications operator employs 12,500 people, with branches operating in nearly all district and regional centers across the country. Over its history, the company’s capital division alone has grown from a small station with 100 lines to a network serving approximately 800,000 fixed-line subscribers.

Expanding into the mobile communications market represents a natural progression of the company’s business growth. Over the past decade, Beltelecom has already established a strong presence in home internet and digital television, and since 2022, it has also been responsible for operating the national public safety monitoring system.
