Uztelecom currently provides connectivity to 96% of communities, operates more than 234,000 miles (378,000 kilometers) of fiber-optic infrastructure, and serves more than 13 million users. Despite that extensive reach, Uzbekistan’s diverse geography—from mountain regions to remote desert communities—means some areas remain difficult and costly to connect through terrestrial networks alone. Amazon Leo is designed to complement Uztelecom’s existing infrastructure, extending connectivity where it is needed most.
