PTCL WiBAS system by INTRACOM TELECOM

INTRACOM TELECOM to supply WiBAS systems to PTCL

Press Release: INTRACOM TELECOM, a part of SITRONICS, announced the signing of a contract with PTCL, Pakistan's largest telecommunication carrier and subsidiary of Etisalat, the leading operator in the Middle East, to supply its point-to-multipoint WiBAS systems covering, in this initial phase, Lahore, the second largest city in Pakistan. This is a result of the company's growing cooperation with PTCL, following the supply of its point-to-point microwave platform INTRALINK which was signed in 2010.

Under this agreement, INTRACOM TELECOM's WiBAS system will enable PTCL to provide broadband corporate wireless access services to its business customers in Lahore, Pakistan. WiBAS is optimized for applications requiring high availability and high capacity on demand using Adaptive Coding and Modulation (up to 256 QAM), statistical multiplexing and dynamic bandwidth allocation. The system concurrently backhauls 2G and 3G traffic resulting in additional CapEx and OpEx savings for the operator through the re-use of the same system of both applications. WiBAS efficiently utilizizes the point-to-multipoint network architecture providing the highest capacity available in the market today. This carrier class product fully preserves the quality of service for voice and broadband data applications.
