Orascom Telecom (OT) is a leading multinational operator in Mideast, Africa and Pakistan,mainly engaged in deploying GSM sub-networks in densely populated developing countries, including Pakistan, Algeria, Egypt, Tunis, Iraq and Bengal, where the number of subscribers increases sharply. Mobilink, a subsidiary of OT, is the largest telecom operator in Pakistan. With first-class telecom solutions, it boasts 62% of the market share in Pakistan, and more than 20 million subscribers. Besides, Djezzy, the mobile subsidiary of OT in Algeria, boasts over 70% of the local market share, and Mobini in Egypt over 53%.
Customer requirements for network expansion and interworking
With the global popularization of the mobile network, the number of mobile subscribers in Mideast and Africa swells fast. The original obsolete network facilities with limited functions and small capacities cannot satisfy the increasing traffic demands. As a multinational operator, OT is developing during constant expansion, and meanwhile confronted with many problems as well.
OT has acquired the existing networks in many countries, which need to be expanded and upgraded. The facilities of several suppliers access the existing network, so many interworking problems need to be solved to protect current investments. Meanwhile, the complicated architecture, poor expandability and costly operation and maintenance of the original networks push OT to optimize the network architecture and build a unified core network to replace the existing obsolete facilities to lower the OPEX. With the rapid increase in traffic and subscribers, OT requires facilities with high performance and large capacity to the demands of developing countries for high-volume traffic. The mobile telecom markets in the sub-network countries, however, are under rapid development. Therefore, to seize the opportunities in the market, OT has to offer fast delivery with high quality.
