Wateen Telecom has announced to start its service Wateen’s WiMax network in Pakpattan and other 25 cities with collaboration with the Universal Services Fund (USF). Through the USF, Wateen offers discounts to subscribers. Wateen is already working with USF on four broadband and three optical fibre projects in underserved areas of Balochistan, Sindh and Punjab, with subsidies worth a total of Rs 2.8 billion.

Naeem Zamindar, CEO Wateen Telecom, stated on this occasion

“The addition of Pakpattan to our WiMax network is part of Wateen’s mission to provide internet connectivity to every single Pakistani. We will continue to add more cities – as well as previously unconnected areas – to our network until we are confident that all Pakistanis have easy and affordable access to the internet.”

Over the last year, Wateen has invested heavily in improving and expanding its network, workforce, systems and processes to ensure delivery of an outstanding customer experience in the future. The Abu Dhabi Group has continued to show great confidence in Wateen and its new management and have provided cash support of over US$57 m in the last 12 months. This has helped the company in optimising its network by deploying new sites such as the ones at Pakpattan to deliver the best quality of service for its customers.
