The operator's investment in network expansion is a continuous endeavor, with 2012 alone having seen over 8 percent growth in cell sites, with the organization's cellular network now spread over 9,000 sites, the largest within Pakistan's industry.
The cell sites have primarily been set up for improving voice and data capacity and catering to the growing communication needs, Chief Technical Officer (CTO), Mobilink, Ramy Reyad Kamel said.
In a statement issued here on Thursday, he said expansion activity is in line with the commitment made by President & CEO, Rashid Khan at the beginning of 2012 to provide the best cellular experience to customers.
Over the course of the year, the Company has optimized its infrastructure investment, thus enhancing the coverage and capacity of network across Pakistan.
"We are committed to consistently enriching our network with newer technologies and services, while continuing to expand our network outreach across Pakistan," he added.
He also mentioned recent meeting with Prime Minister where Company's management pledged an investment of US Dollar one billion into network reach and technology.
The investment will further strengthen Mobilink's unparalleled growth over the last few years, with the operator continuing to build on its vision to reshape lives through connectivity.
