The capacity, combined with Supernet’s system integration capabilities, will be used to provide GSM backhaul services to Pakistan’s mobile operators. The capacity is expected to further improve network coverage in the country by providing voice and data signals to remote mountainous areas in the northern region and hard to reach southern regions.

 

    "We have been working with Supernet since 2010 and are delighted to be able to support their growth as the cellular industry continues to enjoy tremendous growth across Pakistan,” Deepak Mathur, senior vice president commercial, Asia-Pacific and the Middle East at SES said in a statement. “Supernet will be able to benefit from the great location of NSS 12 to enable the delivery of voice and data to underserved markets and rural areas in the country."
