What Beltelecom does

Beltelecom is the national telecommunications operator of Belarus, organized as a Republican Unitary Enterprise (РУП «Белтелеком») under the Ministry of Communications and Informatization of the Republic of Belarus. Founded in 1995 and headquartered in Minsk at ul. Engel'sa, 6, the company operates a national fixed-line and fiber-optic network with backbone capacity exceeding 3.2 Tbit/s based on DWDM equipment (up to 80 optical channels at 10/40/100 Gbit/s) and GPON fiber-to-the-home infrastructure serving over 3.15 million subscribers as of January 2026, with an IMS multiservice platform supporting 3.8M+ subscribers across voice, data, and video.

The company's product portfolio spans consumer and enterprise segments under sub-brands including byfly (broadband internet), ZALA (IPTV, terrestrial TV, SMART TV), YASNA (gaming and entertainment), Видеоконтроль (video surveillance), Видеодомофон (video intercom), OgoKino (streaming), and Evika! (electric-vehicle charging). Enterprise offerings include Cloud PBX, dedicated leased lines, hosting (VPS, dedicated servers, colocation, DDoS protection, cloud storage), corporate email, the Sfera BTC videoconferencing platform, My City smart-city platform, My University academic platform, and RSMOB public-safety video monitoring. Distribution is omnichannel: physical service offices in all six regional centers plus district towns, online self-service (beltelecom.by, issa.html, Moy Beltelecom mobile app), enterprise sales groups, and the BeltelecomShop e-commerce platform.

Beltelecom generates revenue primarily through subscription-based recurring fees on bundled internet/IPTV/voice packages for residential customers and dedicated connectivity, hosting, and managed services for corporate and government clients, supplemented by transit/carrier services to other telecom operators and equipment sales. The company maintains over 20 international fiber interconnections with Lithuania, Latvia, Ukraine, Russia, and Poland and 60 cooperation agreements with international telecom companies, positioning it as the primary international gateway for Belarus. Service offices and 10,000+ employees support national coverage that effectively no private competitor can replicate.
