KARACHI (WiMAX Day). The CEO of Wateen Telecom, Mr Tariq Malik, sent a congratulatory note to staff and customers as he announced the lanuch of their mobile WiMAX network in Pakistan. “We are proud to be the largest and the first in the world to roll-out WiMAX 802.16e network nationwide in 22 cities,” said Malik. Earlier this year Wateen awarded a contract to Motorola to deploy its WiMAX network, and both companies have been working fast and furious ever since. The Wateen network is a major milestone for Motorola as some say it is the largest such mobile WiMAX network in existence today. Wateen Telecom is owned by Abu Dhabi Group, which also owns Warid Telecom, a GSM operator in Pakistan with over 4 million customers.
