Mobilink (an Orascom Telecom Company) to deploy a WiMAX 802.16e-2005
access network for the operator in Pakistan. Under the terms of the
agreement, Motorola will design, plan, deploy and optimize a WiMAX
network for Mobilink, deliver integration and support services as well
as indoor and outdoor customer premises equipment (CPE) units to enable
faster adoption of the operator's WiMAX offering.
Covering major metropolitan areas such as Lahore and Islamabad, the new Motorola-based 802.16e-2005 WiMAX network will enable Mobilink to extend its current service offering beyond cellular and data offerings to high speed broadband and VoIP services for fixed line residential and business subscribers.
This put Wateen in a difficult positiong as for the past so many months they are unable to launch, there wiMax and there is lots of speculation about there failed technology or lack of Management / organizational skills.
Mobilink with help of Orascom has shown clear intentions of investing not only into telecom but as well as broadband / data transfer. Recently Orascom acquired two major ISP's in Pakistan "WOL & Dancom" although the cost of acusation is unknow.

I am glad to hear this news and I hope it will be great to have wimax around. I was one of those who registered with Wateen in first place but they have not showed up till now lets see when Mobilink is hitting the ground in Karachi. Thanks for sharing this news!!!
its really gald to hear that Moblink is going to lanuch WIMAX....but it takes atleast 2 to 3 years.......its not a easy task .....and as far as about WATEEN conern....its really going good.....i already takes WIMAX connection.....they are providing great speed...really.....and the cost...too low w.r.t speed.....free mobile calls anywhere in thw world....i can't figure out here......
in short i have a very good experience.....
way faster and reliable than ptcl and way cheaper as well 1350 / month for 10gb 512kbps
It is a good news that MobiLink is also launchinG its wimax.
I had and am having very serious and grave problem with Wateen. I made a mistake of buying their WiMAX service on 17th, Jan 2008. They charged me extra Rs 1000 installation CHARGES on the pretex that their technical staff would visit me and install the set. They did not give the user name and password and till todate (which is 30th Jan 2008) I am without the connection.
I HAVE REPORTED TO THE MATTER TO THEIR COMPLAINTS ON 18TH, JAN 2008. THE COMPLAINT # IS 6255, I EVEN SENT AN EMAIL TO THEIR HEADQUARTERS BUT RECEIVED NO REPLY
IMAGINE THE SERVICE WATEEN IS PROVIDING
IF ANY ONE IS SUFFERING DUE TO INEFFICIENCY OF WATEEN PLEASE CONTACT ME SO WE MAY TAKEUP THE CASE WITH THE CONCERNED AUTHORITIES JOINTLY

wireless digital communication system deployment in pakistan is great. the good thing is that i can access highspeed broad band internet wirlessely.
Also i think that wateen has already introduced such type of system with wich we can access broadband internet, tv and others on the places where warid telecome services are avilable
wateen is ripping off people its expensive..1500rs for 6gb bandwidth limit it sux..and their technical staff is poor..they lack skills..
I am very inspired that you people is launching a wimax based products in pakistan.
I am user of wateen telecom but i am not satisfying from it. Kindly come soon to peshawar i am waiting

No, Ali. WiMax had already been launched. I think they have just launched their Broadband services. MobilinkInfinity.net
