 | |  Zong Becomes the Fastest Growing Network in the Country | |
Zong has become the fastest growing network of Pakistan as it has
recorded 500 percent growth in terms of number of cell sites during the
last three years. The Company now has 5,612 cell sites out of which a
massive 4,500 have been set up since 2007.In April 2008, Zong joined the Telecom industry in Pakistan as the
smallest operator. It took ZONG two years and the fastest rollout in the
history of the industry to setup a network which its competitors had
taken more than a decade to set up. ZONG now covers 10,000 cities, towns
and villages across Pakistan.“It has been more than 2 years since the launch of ZONG during which
we have made monumental progress,” said Salman Wassay, Head of
Marketing, ZONG. “In all areas of our operations, we have upped the ante
and set new benchmarks for the industry,” added Wassay.ZONG’s reach now stretches from the mountain tops of Ishkoman in
Gilgit-Baltistan to the rocky plains of Buleda in Balochistan to the
midst of mega cities. It has chosen to work with some of the top
companies like Ericsson, Huawei, Alcatel Lucent and ZTE to provide
top-of-the-line infrastructure for its services.ZONG has so far invested US $1.66 billion in Pakistan and has plans
to further invest $300 million in 2010 which is the largest investment
by any telecom operator in the current year. The Company continues to
invest heavily in the construction of GSM networks, support systems and
transmission facilities, and for the development of new technologies and
new businesses. China Mobile – the parent company of ZONG – pursues
continuous innovation in the provision of services, business, technology
and management and has sustained a leadership position in the telecom
industry. | |
