Marketing 600,000 FTTH fiber optic lines in Iraq

 7/12/2024  Baghdad

The Ministry of Communications announced today, Friday, the development of a plan and schedule with the companies contracting with it, in coordination with the Baghdad Municipality and the governorates, to deliver and implement fiber optic lines (FTTH) in all regions and governorates, while indicating the marketing of 600,000 fiber optic lines.

The Director General of the General Company for Communications and Information Technology at the Ministry of Communications, Ali Yassin, said: “The Ministry of Communications, represented by the General Company for Communications and Information Technology, has implemented more than 3 million FTTH fiber optic lines, and 600,000 lines of them have been marketed so far,” noting that “the ministry has developed a plan for the transfer of the rest of the governorates and a schedule with the companies contracted with it for the purpose of implementing and completing the rest of the governorates of Iraq.”

Yassin added, "Coordination has been made with the Baghdad Municipality to facilitate the work of companies contracting with the General Company for Communications and Information Technology to implement and extend cables for FTTH technology, as well as coordination with the governorates to facilitate the task of companies contracting with the General Company for Communications and Information Technology and to set controls and standards for implementation."

He pointed out that "the areas where the lines have been completed, including those on the Karkh side (Al-Saydiya, Al-Jami'a neighborhood, and Al-Adl) and on the Rusafa side (Zayona, and Palestine Street), are all equipped with FTTH service, as are the governorates such as Karbala and Najaf."

He pointed out that "the advantages of the lines are improving the quality of service provided to citizens at competitive prices, especially since most citizens complain about poor Wi-Fi service."

Therefore, FTTH service on optical cable will save them from that.”   LINK
