Iran telecommunications infrastructure expansion

Overview

Iran is undergoing a broad expansion of its digital and telecommunications infrastructure, focusing on both rural connectivity and urban network stability.

In the Khuzestan and Golestan provinces, authorities have prioritized connecting rural villages to the national information network. In Khuzestan, efforts include a 124-kilometer fiber optic project to support security and communication, while in Golestan, officials have shifted from expanding coverage to upgrading service quality, such as transitioning rural areas from 2G to 4G technology.

In Isfahan, the Minister of Communications and Information Technology inaugurated 390 telecommunications and ICT projects representing an investment of over 64.5 trillion rials. These initiatives include the installation of rural mobile stations, the expansion of fiber optic lines for technology sites, and the replacement of urban mobile towers to enhance network capacity and 5G coverage.
