Freedom Telecom became the first operator in Kazakhstan to join the Wi-Fi Alliance

Kazakhstan has become a member of the alliance of the largest manufacturers of computer equipment and Wi-Fi wireless devices.

The new Kazakhstani telecommunications operator, Freedom Telecom, founded in July last year, has joined the list of participants in the international Wi-Fi Alliance association.

Wi-Fi Alliance is a global non-profit association that unites more than 800 companies worldwide, such as Apple, Intel, Cisco, Samsung, Microsoft, Qualcomm, and many others. The main task of the alliance is to promote and certify Wi-Fi standards, ensure equipment compatibility, develop new technologies and standards, such as Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E. The new Wi-Fi 6E standard was first introduced in Kazakhstan by Freedom Telecom at the Digital Almaty 2024 exhibition.

Membership in the Wi-Fi Alliance opens up new horizons for Freedom Telecom and provides significant advantages. The company will be at the center of discussions and developments of new products, participate in independent laboratory tests, exchange experience with global industry leaders, which will allow obtaining invaluable knowledge about the latest Wi-Fi technologies. Joining the alliance also contributes to strengthening the positions of Freedom Telecom as an innovator in the Kazakhstani telecommunications market.

One of the key strategic goals of Freedom Telecom has become the development of Wi-Fi technologies in Kazakhstan. Over the next three years, the company plans to deploy more than 37,000 Wi-Fi access points in 13 cities of the country. To date, 830 access points have already been installed in 66 locations in Almaty, Astana, and Konayev.

In late June 2024, Freedom Telecom signed an agreement on strategic partnership with Vodafone. The leading British operator will advise the Kazakhstani company, providing expertise and support in network development. In addition, the company is actively involved in the construction of data centers and the development of cloud technologies, developing Kazakhstan's telecommunications infrastructure, which could become a Central Asian hub for major technology companies.
