Pakistan to Get 'World's Largest' WiMAX Network

May 25, 2006
Motorola is announcing this week that it will serve as primary supplier for an 802.16e WiMAX broadband network in Pakistan, to be operated by Wateen Telecom.
 
In a Motorola announcement, Tariq Malik of Wateen Telecom calls the Motorola agreement a "milestone" in its Broadband Pakistan initiative. He says Wateen's will be "the largest 802.16e WiMAX network in the world with over one million users," will give access to "a range of voice, Internet, data and value-added services" and will provide coverage to underserved areas in Pakistan.
 
The network will employ Motorola's MOTOwi4 WiMAX access network and subscriber units and will allow Wateen to offer residential and commercial services, including Internet access, data services, voice, VPN and public hotspots. Reports say that Wateen plans to unroll 193 WiMAX sites by the end of September 2006 and 600 by end of June 2007.
 
Motorola describes MOTOwi4 as "a portfolio of wireless broadband solutions and services that create, complement and complete IP networks. MOTOwi4 includes Canopy broadband fixed wireless for point-to-multi-point and point-to-point, Mesh, Broadband over Powerline, WiMAX and Point-to-Point solutions for private and public networks." This week at the WiMAX World Europe event in Vienna, Austria, Motorola unveiled and demonstrated its new carrier-class WiMAX solution.
