- Project Description
-
Harness the power of Multiple-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) to evaluate potential 5G mobile station placements. By focusing on parameters like traffic volume, subscriber count, 5G device prevalence, user activity, and 5G-generated traffic, we can determine the most effective transition points.
Design Principles:
• Data-driven decision-making: Prioritize decisions based on real-world data.
• Scalability: Ensuring that the solution can adapt to future technological advancements.
• Customer-centric: Prioritize areas with high 5G device usage to cater to demand. - Project geography

During the event, leading experts shared their practical experience in launching projects utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) and highlighted approaches that helped elevate their companies to new heights.
Voting for projects participating in the "Project of the Year" contest is open. The voting began on December 1st and will continue until January 15th inclusive. The winners will be announced on February 7th, 2024.
According to the statistics agency, the number of telecommunication and IT companies has increased 1.8 times in the last five years. At the beginning of 2023, there are more than 12 thousand ICT companies operating in the country. More than 100 thousand people are employed in the industry. At the end of 2022, the volume of ICT services grew by 125.5% and amounted to 22.9 trillion soums, of which 4.2 trillion soums were programming services provided by Uzbek companies and specialists. The total revenue of Uzbekistan's IT sector for the first quarter of 2023 reached 2.38 trillion soums - almost four times more than in the same period of 2022. Exports of digital services increased to $57.2 million. According to IT Park, net income amounted to more than 90% of revenue or 2.158 trillion soums.
