There have been a serious damage to PTCL’s backhaul fiber optic system which has caused a major outage for internet /telco systems in PK specially Lahore. ISP’s using TW1 backbone are working fine at the moment but all other ISPs behind PIE/PTCL backbone are suffering from this. I have managed to write these lines due to a satellite link around.

Initial reports are coming in that one of the Telco exchange in Karachi (perhaps Marson or Cantt.) is the center point for this outage.

(NYSE:MOT) today announced that it has deployed Wateen Telecom’s WiMAX network in 17 major cities across Pakistan, including Islamabad, Karachi and Lahore. The two companies have also carried out end-to-end voice and data calls over the network.

Wateen Telecom, part of Warid Telecom International, is using Motorola’s WiMAX technology to provide wireless fixed broadband data services for residential and corporate use. The WiMAX network is a crucial part of Wateen Telecom’s vision to create a world class communications network in Pakistan as it provides a cost effective and fast-to-deploy broadband solution.

Just nine months after the contract was awarded, Motorola has designed, supplied and deployed its WiMAX infrastructure, utilising IMS core technology in preparation for Wateen to offer voice, data, Internet and multimedia services to its subscribers.

“We set ourselves very ambitious targets and timelines,” says Tariq Malik, chief executive officer, Wateen Telecom. “Having Motorola design, supply and deploy our WiMAX network has given us a world class network in minimal time. At the same time, we have been able to focus on building other parts of our business. Similarly Motorola is taking control of the network on our behalf under a managed services contract.”
