Wi-tribe, a Qtel Group Company, has today announced its alliance with a top WiMAX customer premises equipment (CPE) manufacturer to give its customers a top of the line branded device.

Initially, customers in Pakistan will be able to use the customized CPE to access the Wi-tribe network in areas of coverage and plans to launch customized products onto other markets.

This step is in line with Wi-tribe’s commitment to provide the most convenient and simple internet access to emerging markets.

“We promise our customers innovation and fun, and taking this step to design our own CPE to match the standards that they expect, and at a rate which is affordable to everyone, is clear proof of our commitment,”

stated Wi-tribe Group CEO, Sami Hinedi.

The CPE is the device that connects the customer to Wi-tribe’s internet service. The fully branded CPE, developed under the Wi-tribe’s brand, will use the latest WiMAX technologies and would allow Wi-tribe to produce personalized CPEs at a lower cost which means addressing a wider segment of the market in the communities they serve.

“Although standards are still not finalized, WiMAX is emerging as a competitive option to alternatives such as cable or DSL for delivery of broadband services. To be competitive, the total cost per customer must be comparable to these alternatives. That is why wi-tribe has come together to examine all aspects of the technology for these CPEs and the role of all players in the supply chain for their production,” explained Hinedi.

“The Wi-tribe CPE will deploy the latest WiMAX technology chipsets and will use an optimized antenna design to provide better service for our customers,” continued Hinedi.

Wi-tribe recently launched its second operation in Pakistan, Wi-tribe’s largest market to date, in four major regions simultaneously and plans to further expand to other areas. Wi-tribe also has a thriving operation in Jordan and plans to launch in the Philippines in 2010. The newly launched CPEs will be made available preliminarily to customers in Pakistan later this year

Hannoun said:

“Winning all these awards has shown Jordan that collectively as Wi-tribers we can all achieve something great. We are positive that our communication campaign breaks the clutter and talks and appeals to our consumers.”

“We are very happy to have come this far after being in operation for less and two years. It shows our passion for excellence,” he said.

Mohammad Kamal, Owner and Creative Director of Advize Grey, the advertising agency that exclusively worked on all of Wi-tribe Jordan’s winning entries, was extremely pleased with the outcome. “Thank you Wi-tribe for your constant support and giving us the creative license to work on such a fun and dynamic brand,” Kamal said.

The gala ceremony brings together nearly 700 top advertising and media professionals to witness Jordan’s advertising agencies and design houses winning awards in over 50 categories, covering all product and service categories. The winners are selected by a panel of specialists made up of Jordanians and foreign jurors, who review and judge the entries during the week before the gala event.

The IT hub of Pakistan faced its toughest confront on September 20, 2008 when a bomb shacked the very basis of Marriot Hotel and its surroundings leading to a chaos and closing of many IT firms residing in that area. Nayatel being the only fiber optic network service in the capital city approached its valued customers residing in this area and adopted a hands-on strategy and helped all the companies with offer of emergency help by shifting their accounts to any other location in Islamabad/Rawalpindi on Nayatel fiber network.

The blast happened on Saturday 20 September 2008 night and we started working on very next day morning for customers shifting. Some of the customers were shifted on Monday and their US customers on Monday evening were pleasantly surprised to see their back offices up and running within just one day.

This kind of recovery is even not possible to be achieved by US standards. Most of the IT companies that were up and running in short order were because of Nayatel.
