Wateen Telecom CEO Naeem Zamindar said, “The personal broadband
segment is currently missing from the broadband offering in Pakistan; we
aim to close this gap to over 500,000 subscribers within the next 3
years. Currently, we serve 22% of the wireless broadband market in
Pakistan. Our aim is to provide customers with on-the-go, smooth and
seamless internet access, making connectivity agile for them; anywhere
and everywhere, indoor and outdoor in Pakistan.”
Pakistan’s broadband market is expected to reach 4.3 million by the end
of 2013 with the mobile broadband segment accounting for almost 50% of
the total market. The youth demographic will likely be key to this
growth, with metro areas such as Lahore, Karachi and Islamabad showing
increasing demand for low-cost, reliable personal broadband.
“Pakistan is one of the earliest countries to adopt WiMAX in the region
and we have seen the acceleration of mobile broadband in the past few
years. Today’s consumers expect a lot more from their service providers;
absolute performance, mobility and portability all at the same time. We
are confident that our solution will meet expectations of high-speed
connectivity, anytime and anywhere”, said Kelvin Lee, senior general
manager of Greenpacket.
The UH350 modem features an embedded high-gain omni-antenna that
radiates and receives signals from any direction, automatically
selecting the best antenna within the modem to improve signal strength
performance.
