Sergeenko on the quality of telecommunication services: this determines the level of comfort of each resident of the country

Today, the majority of the population uses cellular communication and the quality of telecommunication services determines the level of comfort of each individual resident of the country. Chairman of the House of Representatives of the National Assembly Igor Sergeenko said this in comments to journalists during a visit to the branch of the Minsk City Telephone Network of RUE Beltelecom, writes sb.by.

The speaker noted that no state, no person today can do without high-quality communication. He also noted that in a dynamically changing environment, this function is of particular importance:

- If we talk about our national telecommunication operator, which we are sure will become a national cellular operator next year, today it represents more than 12.5 thousand employees in almost all district and regional centers, as well as in the capital. One of the oldest enterprises not only in Minsk, but also in Belarus, which began with a simple telephone exchange of 100 subscribers, has grown into a huge high-tech and, most importantly, promising structure. There are new types of services, Internet, television. For about four years, Beltelecom has been acting as a single operator of the Republican Public Security Monitoring System, responsible for the creation, maintenance and technical development of the entire video surveillance and video analytics infrastructure in the country. Moreover, today we are talking about the fact that Beltelecom has its own studio and TV channel Yasnae TV. All this suggests that the enterprise, along with the main profile of activity, is developing, while providing trade services to the population.

Igor Sergeenko noted that the main function of the enterprise is the provision of services related to telecommunications. Referring to the parliamentary activity and the attitude of the House of Representatives to this topic, the Chairman of the House of Representatives noted that deputies, working in districts, meet with collectives, study certain problematic issues and, together with the executive authorities, find options for solving them. If Minsk actually does not receive appeals from citizens regarding the quality of cellular communication, then in some areas point questions, of course, there are. The speaker also noted that the majority of the population uses cellular communication, and everyone wants to have high-quality Internet in every corner of the country.

- There are point problems in this matter. And here it is worth noting that we have a legislative framework, in particular, the bill on telecommunications and other decisions taken in this direction. Nevertheless, issues of parliamentary control remain in the field of our activity, he said.

- The work is aimed at improving the quality of communication. Obviously, the efficiency of communication services today depends on the comfort of life in the country of each individual, he said.

Separately, the Chairman of the House of Representatives focused on the role of communication in the life of state structures: decision-making, rapid passage of information.

- In general, the signalmen were and remain at the height, Igor Sergeenko said.

According to the director of the branch "Minsk city telephone network" RUE "Beltelecom" Eduard Belokursky, to the 130th anniversary, which the company will celebrate in mid-November, the team is suitable with good economic indicators:

- Three main services – television, telephony, Internet – have been developing for a long time. On the basis of cloud platforms, video control with video analytics is developing. A new data center has been commissioned, which is currently the largest in Beltelecom, with total power capacity exceeding 2 MW with the possibility of expansion to 4 MW. In general, the branch aims to continue to occupy leading positions.

RUE Beltelecom is currently implementing many other significant projects. For example, Beltelecom plans to become a full-fledged mobile operator.

- We look forward to the implementation of this project. With the advent of mobile communications, we will close all our ambitions that Beltelecom currently has, said Eduard Belokursky.

At the meeting with the staff of the Minsk City Telephone Network, the Speaker of the House of Representatives informed about the activities of deputies, forms of joint work with local authorities, legislative activities. Igor Sergeenko also drew attention to important draft laws in the spheres of national security and economy, social sphere and others. In conclusion, the Chairman of the House of Representatives congratulated the staff of the branch on the approaching 130th anniversary and presented Gratitudes to the best employees of the enterprise.
