Pakistan Telecommunication Company Limited (PTCL) has said that it is
 investing in one of the largest international submarine cable 
consortium system, in collaboration with the leading telecom operators 
of the world.<br />

The undersea cable system encompasses a multimillion dollar 
investment and will enable Pakistan to meet its future information 
communications needs.<br />

Spanning approximately 25,000 KMs, the AAE-1 submarine cable will be 
one of the first cable systems connecting Hong Kong, Singapore, Middle 
East, Africa and Europe and provide an alternative low latency route 
between Pakistan and rest of the world.<br />

The new cable system, Asia Africa Europe (AAE-1), will be adding 
terabits of bandwidth to PTCL’s international capacity, besides building
 redundancy to its existing international infrastructure on eastern and 
western side of the Arabian Sea.<br />

Sayyed Muhammad Imran Ali, PTCL Executive Vice President (EVP) 
International Business Relations and Essa Khalifa Alsuwaidi, PTCL 
Executive Vice President (EVP) International Investments & Capacity 
Sales represented PTCL at the signing ceremony.<br />
“This global initiative marks our vision to cater for the growing 
broadband and data services requirements of Pakistan for both the 
consumer and corporate segments”, said Walid Irshaid, President & 
CEO, Pakistan Telecommunication Company Limited (PTCL).<br />

“This will be the fourth high capacity undersea cable system of PTCL 
and will serve as a catalyst to stimulate growth and development in the 
country by providing robust, reliable and lowest latency connectivity. 
The company has already invested in three international cable consortium
 systems SMW3, SMW4 and IMEWE, which act as a gateway for Pakistan to 
the information superhighway”, added Walid Irshaid.<br />

AAE-1 is one of the largest cable systems launched and will employ 
100Gbps technology with wavelength add/drop branching units along the 
lowest latency route and a design capacity of over 40 terabits.<br />

The seventeen major carriers including China Unicom, Chuan Wei, 
Djibouti Telecom, Etisalat, Mobily, Omantel, OTEGLOBE, Ooredoo, PCCW 
Global, Pakistan Telecommunication Company Limited (PTCL), Telecom 
Egypt, TOT, Viettel and some other carriers, have signed the 
Construction and Maintenance Agreement (C&MA) in Hong Kong on 
January 27, 2014 to officially mark the commencement of the AAE-1 
Project.<br />

Additionally, having two diversified Points of Presence (PoP) in Asia
 (Hong Kong and Singapore) and three onward connectivity options in 
Europe (via France, Italy and Greece) will provide the requisite 
flexibility for these carriers and their customers.<br />

The target completion date for AAE-1 cable construction is the year 
2016. When completed, it will connect Hong Kong, Vietnam, Cambodia, 
Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, India, Pakistan, Oman, UAE, Qatar, Yemen,
 Djibouti, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Greece, Italy and France.</div>

Wateen today announced that it has been awarded a three year Managed 
Services contract by the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) to provide VSAT 
Hub & Spoke operations, field maintenance and technical support to 
connect its Head office and 14 regional and branch offices. <br />

Being the central bank of Pakistan with countrywide operations, State
 Bank of Pakistan felt the need to centralize its applications to reach 
all its branches. Wateen’s VSAT Bandwidth on PAKSAT Satellite will 
connect 15 State Bank sites. This will reduce the costs on distributed 
backend operations of State Bank of Pakistan by bringing them to the 
front end with the centralization of core backend applications.<br />
During this three year project, starting this month, Wateen Telecom 
will maintain PAKSAT satellite Bandwidth and will provide 24-hour (SLA) 
services to State Bank of Pakistan. Wateen Telecom won this project 
after tough competition with other vendors, primarily due to the 
company’s big customer clientele of VSAT and excellent support model in 
telecom sector.<br />

Commenting on the contract, Mr. Naeem Zamindar, CEO Wateen Telecom, said,<br />

<blockquote>
“This achievement is a direct result of Wateen’s 
provision of best service quality to all its customers; we are committed
 to the success of our customers. We are pleased to have been selected 
for this project, which underscores Wateen’s expertise in providing an 
array of maintenance and equipment services to the State Bank of 
Pakistan. We look forward to expanding our relationship with the SBP 
with this important achievement.”</blockquote>

Mobilink has been certified as the World’s Fastest Growing Brand on 
Social Media by Social Bakers, global provider of network statistics and
 analysis for the most commonly used social networks.<br />

This is the first time a Pakistani Brand has led the global charts of
 any social media ranking. Social Bakers has also marked Mobilink as the
 most socially devoted Pakistani for a second consecutive month on all 
social fronts.<br />
The achievement followed Mobilink’s fan base crossing the milestone 
of over 2.1 million Facebook fans and twitter followers growing to more 
than 89,000. This marks Mobilink as the leading telecom brand on social 
media with maximum likes on Facebook (www.facebook.com/mobilink) and the
 most followers on its twitter account (www.twitter.com/mobilink).<br />

Ali Murtaza, Director Marketing Mobilink said, “The overwhelming 
response of our growing fan base on the social media and our leading 
statistics are reflective of our focus on providing the best customer 
experience on all fronts. As social media and mobile internet become a 
popular way of modern communication, Mobilink continues to empower its 
customers with the best online experience to create ‘A better every day’
 for everyone.’<br />

Mobilink has recorded the best response rate of 94% for customer 
queries on social media according to Social Bakers. The Twitter 
statistics issued by Social Bakers for the month of December show that 
Mobilink has escalated through the charts to reach the Klout score of 61
 with a clear 5 points lead over the closest competitor as of January 1,
 2014.<br />

Mobilink’s dominant strategy of connecting with its fans on the 
social media was part of the launch of its new brand identity Har Dil – 
Har Din in June last year. Mobilink has since seen a significant 
increase in popularity and has been acknowledged for its online customer
 engagement to become the most followed telecom brand on the social 
media.</div>

Google has decided to sell Motorola Mobility to Lenovo for $2.91 billion. The American search company, whose buyout of Motorola was puzzling, despite the fact it owns Android, disclosed the news last night and we’re really not surprised much.<br />

As a part of the deal Lenovo will get to own Motorola’s 2,000 patents
 and its brand name, while remaining (majority of) patents will remain 
with Google.<br />
The deal is also one of the largest ever initiated by a Chinese technology company.<br />

The move is widely seen as an attempt by Lenovo, which is the 5th 
largest and among the quickest growing smartphone manufacturers, as 
gaining some important market share in the American markets where 
Motorola remains a major force.<br />

Lenovo, whose reach has been limited to emerging markets mainly China until now obviously eyes Motorola as its Holy Grail.<br />

Also, while Lenovo is now the largest PC manufacturer in the world, 
the dropping sales of the category have made it realise that in order to
 earn more profits, the attention must be shifted towards the smartphone
 business.<br />

<blockquote>
<i>“We dream to become a global player. This deal is a 
shortcut to enter mature markets.” Yang Yuanqing, Chairman and CEO of 
Lenovo Group Limited.</i></blockquote>
Google had itself bought Motorola for a gargantuan $12.5 billion just in 2012. Since then, it has released the Moto X and <a href="http://rexhacker.blogspot.com/2013/11/motorola-announces-moto-g-45-inch.html" target="_blank">Moto G</a>
 smartphones but the division has been leaking money and hasn’t been 
able to create a more balanced environment in the smartphone industry, 
nor a name for Google in the hardware business.<br />

For Lenovo, however, Motorola isn’t the first high-profile capture, 
since it has already brought stuff like the IBM PC and server businesses
 earlier.</div>

Breaking: Telenor Exits ICH

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

As expected, Telenor today announced publicly that it has exited ICH 
or International Clearing House from January 25th, 2014, after which ICH
 – by definition – has collapsed altogether.<br />

Telenor said that Telenor LDI Communications (Pvt.) Ltd (TLC), a 
subsidiary of Telenor Pakistan has made its exit from the International 
Clearing House (ICH) due to heavy losses to Telenor as an enterprise.<br />

International Clearing House, implemented under a policy issued by 
MoIT, included 14 LDI operators. However, during the while, mobile 
companies – Telenor and Mobilink specifically – were not contented due 
to share they were getting out of consolidated international incoming 
traffic’s revenues.<br />

At the time of implementation of ICH Mobile Termination Rate of Rs. 
1.20 for international incoming (MTRI) was proposed for mobile 
operators, however, it was never implemented.<br />
<div class="adsxpls" id="adsxpls1" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding: 0px; text-align: center;">
</div>
As a result, Telenor showed its concerns last month when ICH was to be reviewed by Ministry.<br />

Telenor said it faced financial losses of more than PKR 2.2 billion 
since the establishment of ICH and upward revision of Total Accounting 
Rate/Access Promotion Charge.<br />

Muhammad Aslam Hayat, Vice President Corporate Affairs Telenor 
Pakistan said on the development, “Elimination of grey traffic is a 
focus area for us. We have worked closely with the regulator in reducing
 grey traffic that is detrimental to telecom operators and the economy 
alike. Unfortunately, it has been observed that the grey traffic has 
increased considerably since the formation of ICH and upward revision of
 Total Accounting Rate/ Access Promotion Charge. This has also had an 
adverse effect on our business thus causing substantial revenue losses 
that are affecting our ability to run as a stable business entity. 
Staying in ICH in these circumstances was no more an option. However we 
are still looking towards the government and PTA to take necessary steps
 in reducing grey traffic.”<br />

It is worth mentioning that over 90% of international incoming 
traffic is terminated on cellular mobile operators’ networks. This 
termination after ICH’s implementation has been reduced by more than 75%
 on average for all operators and has subsequently led to plummeting 
revenues.<br />

After the implementation of ICH the overall international incoming 
traffic has reduced from 1.8 billion minutes to less than 500 million 
minutes per month while the corresponding mobile termination revenue on 
incoming international traffic has therefore drastically declined from 
PKR 1.6 billion to PKR 450 million per month.</div>

QMobile Announces its First Tablet, the QTab X50

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

QMobile has announced its first tablet for the country’s audience, the QTab X50.<br />

The tablet measures 8 inches in size and comes with a quad-core MediaTek processor underneath.<br />

The display is a disappointing aspect, however, with 1024 x 768 
resolution. QMobile’s several phones themselves easily top that. The 
design is also rather uninspiring but we can live with that.<br />
<div class="adsxpls" id="adsxpls1" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding: 0px; text-align: center;">
</div>
Under the hood, a 1.2Ghz quad-core MediaTek processor with 1 GB worth
 RAM and 16 GB expandable storage onboard. At the back sits a 5 
megapixel camera, coupled by a 2 megapixel camera at the front.<br />

The tablet comes with a SIM card slot but we don’t know whether phone
 calls and messaging are doable. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are also onboard.<br />

Here are the full specs of the X50:<br />

<ul>
<li>Customized Android 4.2 Jelly Bean</li>
<li>8 inch display with resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels</li>
<li>9.9mm thick</li>
<li>GSM support</li>
<li>1.2Ghz quad-core MediaTek processor</li>
<li>1 GB RAM with 16 GB expandable storage</li>
<li>5 megapixel rear-camera</li>
<li>2 megapixel front-camera</li>
<li>Wi-Fi, microUSB 2.0, Bluetooth</li>
<li>4500 mAh battery</li>
<li>Price: PKR 24,500</li>
</ul>
PKR 24,500 , well, that’s not that much but when you think of 
comparable offerings by established names like Samsung through devices 
like the Nexus 7 and the Galaxy Tab 3 7.0, it can be a bit tough to 
swallow.<br />

You’ve got to be aware of the rights and wrongs before buying this one.</div>
