The network in Kyzylorda is said to operate speeds of up to 100Mbps and Altel plans to deploy a GSM/UMTS network in the city later this year.
LTE services were reportedly launched in Kazkahstan in the cities of Astana, Almaty, Aktau, Aktobe, Atyrau, Yesik, Kapchagay, Karaganda, Kaskelen, Ust-Kamenogorsk, Shuchinsk, Shymkent and Talgar last year.
Altel’s roll-out follows reports earlier this year that rival operator Kcell was struggling to negotiate a 4G licence in the country.
