Telecom

We have built and operated telecom networks since 1998: broadband in the UAE and Pakistan, tower infrastructure for mobile operators, and consulting for operators and project owners.

Broadband networks

We design, install, test, commission and operate multi-play networks over fibre, coaxial and wireless, carrying cable TV, internet, telephony and CCTV. We use equipment from established European and American manufacturers that we have worked with for many years.

What we deliver

  • Network design and engineering
  • Installation, testing and commissioning
  • Operations and maintenance (O&M)
  • Engineering training and structured handover to client teams
  • Multi-play services: cable TV, high-speed internet, telephony and CCTV

Etisalat E-vision, UAE

E-vision was the first triple-play broadband network deployed for Etisalat in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, delivered with Alcatel France. We fielded more than 250 engineers and technicians from several countries to build a 100,000-homes-passed network, then provided two years of operations and maintenance to Etisalat.

WorldCall Telecom, Karachi

We delivered WorldCall's entire Karachi network, 50,000 homes passed, on a turnkey basis. It was the base of WorldCall's broadband roll-out across Pakistan. We also operated and maintained the network and trained WorldCall's engineers for handover.

DHA Teleman, Islamabad

DHA Teleman was a joint venture with Defence Housing Authority Islamabad (DHAI) and one of the first multi-service broadband networks in Islamabad and Rawalpindi. We ran the whole project, from choosing European and American equipment to installation and daily operations, and managed it for ten years before handing operations to DHAI.

Mobile infrastructure

Our Tower Division, set up in 2009, was the first tower infrastructure service provider in Pakistan. It introduced tower sharing, so that several mobile operators could use the same sites instead of each building their own.

  • Site acquisition
  • Site construction and site build
  • Tower fabrication
  • Tower sharing
  • Site power: battery management systems and solar power for mobile sites

Power is one of the largest running costs at a mobile site. Battery management and solar systems help operators cope with grid outages and cut fuel and maintenance costs.

We now offer these services in Africa, working with local partners.

Consulting and project management

We help operators and project owners plan and run projects, using what we learned building and operating our own networks.

Methodology and governance review

We review your current methods and governance, identify gaps, and recommend changes that fit your objectives, risk appetite and resources.

Consulting

  • Project planning and execution
  • Stakeholder management
  • Risk management
  • Change management

Training

We train your team so that changes stay in place after we leave.

Tools

We help you choose and set up project management software, collaboration tools and reporting dashboards, and we support them afterwards.
