Bleeding Edge Mobile Broadband? Check Pakistan!

July 2nd, 2008 by Kashif Aziz ( 412 Views )

Amidst all the political and economical gloom, here is some sunshine.

Brian Partridge, Director of Yankee Group’s Enabling Technologies Service Provider group, admires the growing WiMAX network in Pakistan.

As of today, there are approximately 25K Wateen subscribers who are using their WiMAX connections for both Internet connectivity and voice services. That voice services are served up over an IMS control plane is a watershed moment for an industry that has seen some negative press on the viabilty of delivering voice over IP services over WiMAX. So far, so good for Wateen and its WiMAX partner Motorola. They are excited about ramping up the subscriber base even quicker when the next generation of CPE devices become available in the next half year.

Its good to see a success story like this for WiMAX and IMS and I hope Sprint/Clearwire are paying attention.
