Iraq Wireless network solutions provider Altobridge has announced that Iraqi mobile operator Asiacell is rolling out mobile voice, broadband and SMS services across remote communities in Iraq using the Altobridge lite-site solution. A satellite-backhauled 2G/3G solution, the Altobridge lite-site enables mobile network operators to bring mobile connectivity to rural areas. It is also optimised for solar power, thereby removing the high cost barriers of diesel generators. At present, Asiacell is deploying the solution in previously unconnected communities in Sulaimaniya in Northern Iraq. ‘For over a decade, Asiacell has been pioneering the provision of products and services that enhance the quality of life and business for Iraqis,’ said Dr. Diar Ahmed, Asiacell’s CEO, adding: ‘Telecommunications is the backbone of any progressive economy and is a key driver of socioeconomic growth, which is why we have made it our mission to ensure that telecom services are available to all Iraqis regardless of their location. Asiacell is the first telecom company to provide coverage for all 18 provinces, and to supply mobile voice, broadband and SMS services to remote communities that are not traditionally associated with revenue generating potential.
