Infomir and Aknet: a history of cooperation

About Aknet

In 1998, Aknet entered the ICT market as an academic network, which is the source of the company’s name, AKademy NETwork. From the very beginning, Aknet originally provided Internet access to scientific institutions in Kyrgyzstan, and this became the company’s primary service. Today, 90% of the country’s higher education institutions are connected to the Internet thanks to Aknet, now the largest cable Internet provider in Kyrgyzstan.

Over the years, the company has gained extensive experience in providing communication services. In 2008, Aknet began to develop integrated IP video surveillance systems, which relied on a fiber-optic network and modern digital equipment equipped with advanced security technologies. During the same period, Aknet was actively engaged in the implementation of IP/SIP telephony and multicast video conferencing using Voice/IP and multimedia conferencing technologies.

In 2011, the company launched the innovative digital television network—iTV Aknet, which provides over 170 digital TV channels and an additional interactive services package. Aknet has helped to transform TV sets from static ‘boxes’ into live tools that offer their viewers a window on the outside world.

Aknet was one of the first companies to begin connecting the private sector. Since 2014, the company has launched a project aimed at bringing global connection to every private house by offering high-speed Internet and digital television at affordable rates. Also in 2014, Aknet opened a branch in the city of Osh, Kyrgyzstan’s southern capital.
