Wateen

Broadband Internet

Managed Capacity

Wateen has deployed Pakistan’s largest fiber optic network spanning over 13,000km across Pakistan. Wateen maintains the highest standards of quality and reliability through state-of-the-art technology and a team of highly trained professionals.

With a Managed Capacity solution, the carrier customer pays Wateen for the ‘capacity’ of network and operation services on a ‘unit of usage’ basis.

The Managed Capacity solution is best suited to situations where a customer is looking to buy smaller bandwidth capacities, or expand and transform its geographical network coverage in smaller increments without making any significant upfront investment.

Dark Fiber Lease

Wateen provides Dark Fiber Lease option to customers seeking connectivity on an IRU (Indefeasible Right of Use) which varies from 3 years to 20 years; depending on customer preference. Wateen provides the client with a pair of dark fiber and the client is responsible for lighting it up by setting up the required equipment.

Dark Fiber is a fiber optic cable that is installed but does not have the lasers installed to ‘light’ the fiber. It is the responsibility of the customer to install electronic equipment required to ‘light’ up the leased dark fiber.

Lambda Services

Wateen provides Lambda services (10Gbps capacity) over fiber to its customers by ‘lighting’ up just a single wavelength from the full optical signal.

Lambda networking provides independent communication channels along a strand of fiber optic cable.

DPLC/IPLC & IP Transit

Wateen provides PLC Services across both domestic & international destinations over its own nationwide fiber optic network and various submarine cable systems through multiple partners internationally.

Wateen also provides IP Transit service, which simply put, is raw internet bandwidth over the Internet backbone.

A PLC (Private Leased Circuit) is a point-to-point private line used by an organisation to communicate between offices that are geographically dispersed throughout the world. A PLC can be used for internet access, business data exchange, video conferencing, and any other form of telecommunication.

Co-location Services

Wateen provides state-of-the-art facilities for co-location/tele-housing for the customers to deploy their infrastructure because we believe that guaranteed internet reliability, in conjunction with the fastest delivery time possible, is achieved by garnering the backbone of a technical infrastructure that only exists in a co-location facility.
