Enterprise-grade subscriber terminals supporting high-density, multi-user deployments across Baku, Sumgait, and Ganja networks.
The digital connectivity landscape in Azerbaijan is experiencing a dramatic structural revolution. Guided by the State Strategy for Information Society Development and propelled by the Ministry of Digital Development and Transport’s ambitious "Online Azerbaijan" project, the country is actively migrating its legacy copper infrastructure (ADSL/VDSL) to high-capacity Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) networks. The ultimate national target is to provide all households and businesses across Azerbaijan—ranging from metropolitan Baku to remote locations in the Guba-Khachmaz and Lankaran-Astara economic zones—with high-speed, reliable gigabit broadband services. This transition is not merely about pulling fiber lines; it relies heavily on installing efficient, high-performance customer premises equipment (CPE) to manage the delivery of these new gigabit capabilities.
Historically, broadband access in Azerbaijan was limited by high latency, limited bandwidth, and congestion in high-density urban areas. With major telecom operators like Aztelekom and Baktelecom leading massive optical buildouts, the demand for next-generation subscriber terminals has grown. Specifically, the rollout of GPON (Gigabit Passive Optical Network) and EPON (Ethernet Passive Optical Network) technologies requires modern Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) ONUs to prevent terminal bottlenecks. While legacy Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) equipment struggles with signal attenuation in thick concrete apartment complexes typical of Soviet and modern Baku architecture, Wi-Fi 6 leverages advanced signal processing to provide reliable coverage.
Azerbaijani internet service providers (ISPs) and corporate system integrators are realizing that investing in high-quality Wi-Fi 6 ONUs is key to reducing subscriber churn. Soras Technology's Wi-Fi 6 ONT series features dual-band capability (up to 3000 Mbps PHY rate), integrated voice (VoIP via POTS), cable television (CATV) receivers, and gigabit ethernet connections. These units serve as a future-proof, multi-service gateway for modern households and enterprise networks.
To succeed in Azerbaijan’s competitive ISP landscape, local network operators need versatile hardware. Soras Technology designs and manufactures dual-mode XPON (GPON and EPON auto-sensing) ONUs that fit into existing optical line terminal (OLT) infrastructures. Whether an ISP runs Huawei, ZTE, Fiberhome, or Nokia OLTs in their central offices, our ONUs automatically switch between GPON (ITU-T G.984) and EPON (IEEE 802.3ah) protocols, streamlining inventory management and installation workflows.
Technical Advantage (AX3000 Wi-Fi 6): Incorporating OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access), 1024-QAM, and MU-MIMO technologies, our AX3000 ONUs support up to 128 concurrent active devices. They operate on a 160MHz channel bandwidth, doubling the channel width of standard Wi-Fi 5 models, which translates to high-speed data transmission for 4K streaming, online gaming, and industrial IoT applications.
Our ONUs are designed to handle complex home networking scenarios. The integration of BSS Coloring (Base Service Station Coloring) minimizes co-channel interference in Baku's densely populated high-rise apartments by distinguishing between neighboring Wi-Fi signals. Furthermore, with built-in Target Wake Time (TWT), our ONT platforms optimize scheduling to reduce power consumption for connected mobile and IoT devices throughout Azerbaijan.

Soras Technology does not just supply hardware; we design end-to-end network terminal solutions tailored to Azerbaijan's key economic sectors.
For large-scale deployments by Azerbaijani operators (such as Aztelekom, Baktelecom, and private ISPs like Azeronline and Katv1), our ONUs integrate high-speed data, VoIP services, and analog/digital CATV over a single fiber strand. Using WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexing) filters, downstream CATV signals at 1550nm are processed alongside GPON downstream data at 1490nm and upstream at 1310nm. This eliminates the need for separate coax cabling in modern apartments, lowering installation overhead.
Azerbaijan’s industrial parks, such as the Sumgait Technologies Park (STP) and the Alat Free Economic Zone (AFEZ), require robust campus networking. In these environments, deploying large fiber switch units can be space- and cost-prohibitive. Our Intelligent PON SFP Stick (EPON/GPON/XPON) fits directly into existing enterprise firewall routers, security cameras, or managed switches. This converts any standard SFP port into a PON terminal, reducing power consumption and saving cabinet space.
Reliable backhaul is critical for urban monitoring projects, such as Baku’s Safe City initiative. We offer industrial-grade PoE switches (including 24-port Gigabit PoE switches and waterproof enterprise switches) that connect directly to our ONUs. This configuration supports reliable, high-resolution IP camera streams under demanding thermal conditions.
Case Study Highlight: In partnerships with localized system integrators in Baku, Soras Technology successfully optimized GPON ONT firmware to maintain stability under fluctuations in optical link loss (dB), ensuring uninterrupted performance for urban surveillance systems.
Entering the Azerbaijani telecom space requires compliance with regional regulatory frameworks. At Soras Technology, we build our products to meet global standards (CE, FCC, RoHS, UL) while ensuring they comply with local telecommunication guidelines overseen by the Ministry of Digital Development and Transport (MDDT) and the State Administration of Radio Frequencies.
Key areas of focus include:
Our Wi-Fi 6 ONUs are configured to comply with the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency band limits mandated by Azerbaijani regulators. Channel availability and transmit power levels (EIRP) are pre-calibrated in our firmware to prevent interference with local public defense and aeronautical radar systems.
We supply English-localized firmware out of the box, with options to customize the user interface with local ISP branding, specific configuration presets, and TR-069 parameters. This enables plug-and-play installation for technicians on-site.
Baku's coastal climate features hot summers and high humidity. Our ONUs utilize high-grade internal heat sinks, ventilated enclosures, and components rated for wide operating temperatures (0°C to +50°C), protecting against premature component failure.

Yes. Our ONUs are calibrated to operate within the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands in compliance with Azerbaijani radio frequency standards overseen by the State Administration of Radio Frequencies. Transmit power (EIRP) is limited to regulatory margins, and the dynamic frequency selection (DFS) feature works automatically to prevent interference with radar systems.
We offer multiple transport options to Baku. Air freight takes approximately 7 to 12 business days for urgent consignments. For larger cargo shipments, we utilize the Trans-Caspian International Transport Route (Middle Corridor rail network), which typically delivers from China to Azerbaijan within 20 to 30 days, providing a reliable alternative to sea freight.
We provide full customization options for telecommunications providers and distributors. This includes localized English/Russian/Azerbaijani firmware interfaces, custom housing designs, specific product colors, customized packaging, and pre-configured default settings (such as SSID prefix, TR-069 management server addresses, and VLAN IDs) to simplify field installation.
Our ONUs feature a dedicated passive cooling layout with strategically placed ventilation slots and oversized internal heat sinks. The interior electronics use components rated for wide temperature ranges to prevent signal drops or hardware degradation during hot summer conditions.
Every ONU we produce goes through a multi-stage testing process. This includes automated optical inspection (AOI) after SMT mounting, automated RF calibration to verify Wi-Fi transmit power and receiver sensitivity, high-low temperature cycling in environmental chambers, packet error rate testing under high traffic loads, and final functional verification against multiple OLT brands.
We provide technical support, custom hardware modifications, and stable supply lines to help you expand your network footprint in Baku and across Central Asia.
