Internet coverage extended: New setup in Astana ensures no location lacks connectivity
In the heart of Kazakhstan, the city of Astana is undergoing a digital transformation, introducing innovative telecommunications solutions that promise to revolutionize the way its citizens stay connected. The latest addition to this modernization effort is the 'Magic Pole', a dual-purpose infrastructure unit designed by Beeline Kazakhstan and ZTE [2][3].
This multifunctional pole, blending seamlessly with Astana's city architecture, serves a dual purpose—it acts as a mobile base station while also providing street lighting. By optimizing network coverage in dense urban areas, the Magic Pole supports smart city services, all without causing significant visual disruption [2][3].
Along the Astana-Borovoe highway, a different type of innovation has been deployed—an autonomous antenna-mast structure. This unit, powered by a hybrid energy system combining solar panels and wind turbines, provides continuous coverage in remote areas without the need for a grid connection. This green power solution ensures stable and resilient signal coverage, even in extreme weather conditions, effectively eliminating internet "dead zones" along the route [2][3].
The implementation of these new systems is not limited to urban areas. Within a major shopping center in Astana's capital, a new system has been installed to eliminate "dead zones", ensuring high-speed, stable internet access for shoppers.
The Ministry of Digital Development, Innovation, and Aerospace Industry of Kazakhstan has confirmed that the installation of base stations on residents' property is not explicitly mentioned as a solution in Astana [4]. Instead, the Magic Pole and the autonomous antenna-mast structure continue to address signal issues where residents do not support base station installations on their property.
These innovations are part of a larger initiative aimed at enhancing internet quality across Astana and its surroundings. By providing high-speed, stable internet access in urban and remote areas alike, Kazakhstan is taking significant strides in its digital infrastructure modernization and smart city development [2][3].
The country is also piloting ultra-fast 10G wired internet in Astana, further contributing to high-performance digital connectivity [1]. With these advancements, Astana is set to become a beacon of digital innovation in Central Asia.

Technology plays a crucial role in Astana's digital transformation, with innovative solutions like the Magic Pole and autonomous antenna-mast structures improving network coverage in both urban and remote areas. These advancements, including the implementation of ultra-fast 10G wired internet, are part of Kazakhstan's larger initiative to enhance internet quality and contribute to smart city development.
