News Summary:
On July 6, 2026, LMT announced its security service, LMT Call Firewall, blocked more than 7.6 million fraudulent calls between January and May, with an additional 2.8 million fraudulent calls blocked in June alone. Approximately 1.9 million of the calls blocked from January to May used Latvian telephone numbers, as fraudsters increasingly adapt their methods to use foreign numbering. These efforts indicate a 34% reduction in scam activity compared to 2025, aligning with broader European Union initiatives to combat telecom fraud, which cost EU consumers an estimated €12.8 billion annually in 2025. Previously, on July 3, 2026, LMT, in collaboration with Latvian Railways, began testing private 5G network technologies for rail infrastructure management, marking the first such test in the Baltics. This initiative aims to prepare for the Future Railways Mobile Communication System (FRMCS), which all EU rail operators must implement by 2035. Earlier, on June 8, 2026, LMT announced plans to invest EUR 38 million in upgrading its network infrastructure during the year. This investment includes deploying ten new base stations and upgrading over 200 existing base stations, from the operator's more than 1700 nationwide, while continuing the development of 5G Standalone in commercial mode.
