The first simulation test of the Crisis Management Group project has been completed

The Business Continuity test of Azercell's CMG project was conducted in the Alat Free Economic Zone.

 A real-time Business Continuity test of the CMG – Crisis Management Group of Azercell, which is a leading mobile operator in the country, was conducted in the Alat Free Economic Zone. For implementation of the first tests Azercell was partnering with Azercosmos, Aztelekom, and Baktelecom. During the simulation, a crisis was created by completely cutting off communication in the designated area. Technical teams from the regions arrived at the scene during the crisis drill, initiating efforts to restore communication. Initially, groups installed two mobile Base Stations in the area, providing 2G service to a limited number of subscribers using facilities of the national satellite. In the next stage, high-speed internet, 3G, and 4G networks were restored, and the area was equipped with 100-megabit Wi-Fi service. It's worth noting that in comparison to previous tests, the recovery time was reduced by half in this simulation test. All mentioned recovery operations were carried out by teams from the regions and the groups of experts specially trained by Azercell.

One of the factors that contributed to the implementation of this project was the initiative put forward by President Ilham Aliyev during the Summit of the Heads of Turkic States. In the frames of the summit, the Ankara Declaration, and a Protocol on the establishment of a Civil Protection Mechanism were signed.

Head of Business Sustainability Section of Azercell and project manager Anar Mirzayev stated that one of the goals of the project is to organize in advance for joint action during emergencies and natural disasters in the region and among Turkic states: "Based on the Ankara Declaration, agreement has been reached to strengthen cooperation among national disaster management agencies of the Turkic States for efficient, coordinated, and timely response to potential disasters and emergencies, as well as to create a Civil Defense Mechanism. This aligns with the purpose of the CMG project."
