VivaCell-MTS and GNC-Alfa CJSC signed an agreement that will allow
VivaCell-MTS building of an own high-speed, fiber-optic backbone
network. Under this contract, VivaCell-MTS will acquire the optical
dark fibers in GNC-Alfa’s Fiber Optic Cable system laid between
Yerevan and Armenian-Iranian border.
The GNC-Alfa’s Fiber Optic Network Cable is interconnected to Iran’s
long-distance fiber-optic network and is providing further access to
the worldwide telecommunications networks. Thanks to the agreement
VivaCell-MTS will have an independent and reliable nationwide network
having international access for voice and high speed data and Internet
services. GNC-Alfa will provide operation and maintenance of the
acquired fibers.
The high-speed, fiber-optic network will provide Armenia with high
digital communications online speeds. Higher education and R&D
institutions may use the system for educational and research purposes.
It has a big potential for increasing international collaboration
and sharing resources, the company’s website reports.
