PHOENIX, July 21 /PRNewswire/ --
- Infrastructure Facilitates Communications Between Jordan, Baghdad and Basra
Antenna Technology Communications Inc., a provider of commercial satellite communications systems, today announced that it has completed one year operations of an advanced cellular communications system for Mobile Telecommunications Company (MTC). MTC offers mobile telephony services in Kuwait and is currently one of the leading mobile operators in the Middle East with over 3.4 million customers across the region in Kuwait, Bahrain, Jordan, Iraq and Lebanon. MTC is currently known as MTC-Vodafone in Kuwait and Bahrain, Fastlink in Jordan, MTC Atheer in Iraq, MTC Touch in Lebanon and Celtel in Africa (13 countries).
In cooperation with Intelsat's global satellite fleet over the Middle East, for over a year, ATCi has been able to complete GSM services from principally Iraq to anywhere in the world. Moreover, through this system Zain can use their next generation network infrastructure to provide profitable yet efficient services globally.
The innovative contract signed between the two companies calls for an after-care warrantee period upon the Intelsat verification of the integrity of the circuit to ensure continued high quality communications to these regions for the future. ATCi is in the process of implementing additional cost-effective GSM backhaul systems which are being implemented throughout the Middle East and Africa over the upcoming years.
"The Zain vision for providing dependable high quality mobile services is really making a positive difference in these regions," said Gary Hatch, ATCi's CEO. "Conceivably, Zain's caring ability to work honestly and reasonably with integration companies such as ATCi formulates the teaming required to provide vital communications services to one of the most precarious countries in the world," Hatch concluded.
This has now become the widest reaching mobile telecommunication network in the country, MTC Atheer provides services to about 3,250,000 customers. ATCi handled the scope of the project from turn-key design and integration to installation and testing.
