The Kcell Eurasian Mobile Summit 2023 brought industry experts to the forefront, and among them was Mr. Nurbol Meirmanov, the co-founder of Level2 Kazakhstan. His company is revolutionizing rural internet access using Fixed Wireless Access and unlicensed technology. We sat down to discuss his ground-breaking solutions, his plans for international expansion, and the future of rural connectivity.
One of the most exciting topics covered by Mr. Meirmanov was the use of Fixed Wireless Access technology to provide high-speed internet in rural areas. Unlike traditional operators who may find it challenging to offer technical solutions in such regions, Level2 Kazakhstan uses IEEE access on Wi-Fi frequencies. They are also planning to employ Open RAN technologies based on 3GPP access.
Mr. Meirmanov elaborated that their system is based on a point-to-multipoint solution, utilizing vendors like Ubiquiti and Cam view. The advantage here is the low power consumption, negating the need for constructing extensive infrastructure. The result? Low capital expenditure (CapEx) and high revenue—a perfect equation for business success.
Open RAN is another technology that Meirmanov is excited about. This technology allows traditional vendor equipment to be replaced with virtualization. The software is uploaded to the cloud, and radio units receive their instructions from there. It enables operators to eliminate the need for a large-scale network, instead, operating all modules via the cloud. This advancement not only makes the operation more manageable but also significantly more scalable.
With 20 years in the industry, Mr. Meirmanov’s success in Kazakhstan is proof of the efficacy of Level2’s services. Their ability to provide real solutions for rural internet access has a strong utility that could be exported internationally, something that Meirmanov is keen on exploring.
Level2 Kazakhstan, under the visionary leadership of Nurbol Meirmanov, is on a mission to bridge the rural-urban digital divide. Their use of Fixed Wireless Access and Open RAN technology represents an innovative approach to a complex issue. As rural areas worldwide face a lack of quality internet access, solutions like these pave the way for global, scalable change.
