As was expected Worldcall has become the first ever company to acquire the LDI, LL and WLL licences enabling it to role-out top of the line, hassle free, user friendly and economical telecom solutions to all segments of society.
The Government Regulatory Authority PTA awarded this licence to Worldcall at PTA Headquarters in Islamabad, creating a milestone in Pakistan's telecom history. Worldcall Multimedia Limited (WML) got the licence for Lahore Telecom Region (LTR) while Worldcall Broadband Limited (WBL) was awarded the same licence for Karachi Telecom Region (KTR).
These licences will allow WML and WBL to offer comprehensive last mile solutions in basic telephony to the end users including the corporate, trade and domestic markets of the two metropolitans in the country.
These solutions, expected to be rolled out shortly will be offered through a mix of HFC (Hybrid Fiber Coaxial) network, MSAN (Multi Service Access Node) via copper and wireless technologies. Worldcall successfully acquired premium frequency spectrums with national coverage possibilities.
The service range will cover transmission of voice, data, pictures and internet starting from the two largest cities Karachi and Lahore. Worldcall Group boasts a nation-wide presence in Pakistan already by catering to a huge number of subscribers through its broadband interactive cable system, smart card based payphone networks, prepaid calling card, internet, and infotainment services through a comprehensive portal, in addition to other related businesses.
New opportunities through deregulation of Pakistan's telecommunication sector and IT infrastructure have enabled Worldcall Group to diversify its services all across Pakistan.
No other private sector company has such diversified interests within the telecom sector and an almost all encompassing network of services ensures that after deregulation scenario Worldcall Group becomes a dominant force in the not so distant future.
Worldcall has developed a core project development team to tap the opportunities that exist in the telecom sector with national as well as international coverage.
