The recent launch of wi-tribe has definitely elevated the level of competition in WiMAX market in Pakistan. Now the latest news is the expected launch of Qubee an Augere brand for WiMAX services in Pakistan.
Qubee is a new and exciting company providing fast, reliable and competitively priced broadband internet services to residential and business customers across Pakistan. We believe that everyone should be able to enjoy trouble-free access to the internet and the world of opportunities that it brings. Our aim is to make a magical internet experience available to everyone, everyday, without exception.
Qubee is the creation of a group of global telecoms professionals who saw that a new technology called WiMAX could really change the internet experience for millions of people worldwide.
The details of the tariff and packages offered is not yet mentioned on their website, www.qubee.com.pk.
They are starting in Karachi, but quickly plan to expand thier network and cover other cities nationwide. The current coverage area for Qubee can be seen on the following link.
Qubee’s launch right after the launch of wi-tribe reminds me of the year 2005 when at the GSM front we saw Warid following Telenor’s launch. Nevertheless Qubee will bring on-air the fourth WiMAX operator of Pakistan, the other three being Wateen, Mobilink Infinity and the recent Wi-tribe. Will this start a price/data-rate war among the WiMAX operators? This will only become clear with time.

Augere is an European company focused on broadband delivery in emerging markets, they had been selected by TeleCard as the principal contractor to design and build the network such as to position a great offering / value proposition for the growing and very quality sensitive internet user community in the country.
I am a Telecom enthusiast and have recently graduated in Telecom Engineering.
I think the big question mark will be the pricing options, available with each operator. With the upcoming launch of ptcl’s WiMAX service in thirteen cities, across Pakistan, I am sure we are in for a tough race ahead.
The biggest factor in my opinion shall be growth in real-estate and new buildings’ erection. I think the CPE pricing should include some leasing options (guaranteed by banks) to bring the prices down.
Nice…I heard now that brand will be released in Bangladesh, since it’s parents company has won WiMax license in Bangladesh.
Ya, its true. They are going to launch in Bangladesh soon. They will start the service in our capital, Dhaka City. They are already running trial operation in Gulshan and Banani area of the city. WiMAX modem is expected to hit the market in October/November. We are waiting for the service. Hope this gonna change the internet experience of us.
