Ookla: 5G becomes the foundation of digital transformation in Kazakhstan

Ookla, the global leader in network analytics, released its traditional Speedtest Global Index for 2023, in which Kazakhstan ranked 72nd among 146 countries, rising 23 positions from 95th place in 2022. According to the company's analysts, mobile download speeds in the country improved by 61% from 21.29 Mbps at the end of 2022 to 35.07 Mbps in December 2023.

Ookla notes that Kazakhstan is striving to leverage 5G technology to support its digital transformation strategy, with mobile operators, particularly Kcell, accelerating the rollout of 5G.

Kazakhstan already has a significant base of customers with 5G-enabled devices — in the fourth quarter of 2023, more than 53% of tests conducted nationwide were performed on 5G-capable devices.
