11. 2. Review of literature
2.1Network Expansion
By admin
Posted on 08 Feb 2010 at 12:22pm
First time in history of WiMAX industry, Wateen’s RAN team has on-aired four
sites without involving its vendor, Motorola. Reportedly, due to delay in delivery
from vendor’s side, one of Wateen’s RAN team took the initiative and deployed 4
sites, which are as of now on-air and live in southern region. Lead by Tehseen
Ahmed, Syed Yasir Uddin is responsible for all the integration of equipment that they
had purchased from vendor, while deployment work was done by a sub-con.
Commenting on this, the RAN team lead Tehseen Ahmed said that this is the first
time in the history of Wateen, RAN team have deployed sites without involving the
vendor, all the installation and integration of these site are done by us. Yasir, while
speaking with Humayun.pk told that there are 134 sites planned in this phase, out of
which 66 are in Karachi. After successful installation of 4 sites, his team is planning
to roll out all remaining sites in chunks.It merits mentioning here that Yasir had
joined Wateen a year ago as a fresh graduate.Currently there is only one such
installation team in Wateen, however, we may see more such individuals mastering
the installation process.
2.1: Archor/David/Kumar
This case study is about a health maintenance organization (H.M.O). A project of 5
doctors at Fraser General Hospital. This data is of September 1996.John Akitt is the
originator of the program. The major problems he is facing is of budgeting problem
he needs 400000 $ to start the project. He also has to convince the trustee for the
budget and there is another H.M.O nearby.
John Akitt said that they should provide better services and hence they need a lot of
money. For this he started research and came to know there is a university 2miles
away. The university has overall 13000 students and faculty members. They said that
they will only take their H.M.O plan if their plan will be succeeded in early few
months. Akitt realized that they need to provide better services at lower rates and
provide extra ordinary services to attract people.
They targeted the people who don’t have any H.M.O plan before and those who are
dissatisfied with their current H.M.O plan and those who didn’t have any long
standing relationship with a family doctor.
11
12. They collected data from both primary and secondary sources.
Primary: They surveyed university and interviewed the people from their sample.
Secondary: they interviewed 4 members of competitive H.M.O and discovered
objective, purpose and background of their H.M.O
They followed 4 procedures of data collection:
1. Telephonic contact to get dates for questionnaire.
2. Placed questionnaire.
3. They did reminder phone calls.
4. If the questionnaire was not filled arguments were made for second pick up
time.
Their plan was awesome before data collection, they made themselves aware that they
must collect the accurate data .they wanted to reduce the cost so they were very
careful about their plan.
Their objectives were to make their H.M.O successful. The demand for the proposed
H.M.O should be increased and for this purpose they had to give extra ordinary
facilities to their customers. On the other hand they have to reduce their cost . Medical
services should be good in order to retain their customers.
According to me John Akitt did the right thing for conducting the research and finding
the ways through which he can get more customers and retain them by offering
attractive packages. Secondly his main aim was to save the cost of research ands the
way he chose to do research fulfilled his purpose so it was a successful research for
him.
2.2: Uma Sekaran (2008)
This data is collected in 1999.Anisha Sekar started the work of handcrafts in India .
She made jewellery, handbags, articrafts and home furnishings. Later she started to
export these to U.S.A. Tom was. Her husband, he handled all the matters regarding to
the export of her product. Their work was going very well in 1999. her motive was to
export her products worldwide for this she needed capital to explore her company.
12
13. Anisha was creative and this helped her husband a lot. Her exports started increasing
in 1999 for first 5 years Tom handled and later she decided to hire a local manager.
The major problems she was facing were:
Return of their sales from U.S.A , artisans she hired in India delivered the products
late, Indian customers ordered them in bulk but due to late delivery of shipment
returned the order, breaking of goods on their way, fungus problems with the goods
and customs officer inspect each and every product resulting in the delay of their
shipment.
For solution of the problem she hired David and his team. They started the research.
The major problem David was facing of language barrier but he soon overcomes that.
He visited where Anisha’s products were sold. He collected and read all the relevant
material that he could obtain from Indian customers and shipping procedures.
He also surveyed in U.S.A and asked for the reasons of return in their product. The
major reason for this was delayed delivery and fungus problem with the products.
For the solution David applied a chemical to the products which avoid fungus. He
also offered bonuses to the artisans in the form of cash prizes for making the product
ready before time. He also advised Anisha to make a good friendly relationship with
the custom officer so that he clears the shipment in time.
According to my opinion research of David was very good.
It was a scientific research.
It fulfilled the purpose of Anisha.
The research was purposive.
All the problems were solved through this research.

Motorola Provides WiMAX Services to Wateen Telecom
By Raju Shanbhag, TMCnet Contributor
As the demand for WiMAX services increases, companies have been deploying
improved WiMAX facilities to attract more customers. Recently, Motorola announced
that Wateen Telecom has accelerated its rollout of WiMAX services with the help of
Motorola’s Home & Networks Mobility business. Motorola is Wateen’s exclusive
WiMAX CPE and infrastructure supplier.
Wateen said it chose Motorola’s WiMAX USB 100 as part of its latest CPE order.
USB 100 will be made available to consumers and businesses for the first time in
Pakistan, as will the outdoor WiMAX CPE 450. Motorola will also provide newly
introduced WiMAX CPEi 775 and CPEi 750 for indoor use within a home or office
environment.
Motorola’s wi4 WiMAX USBw 100 adaptor lets end users connect to mobile
WiMAX broadband on their laptops using the convenient USB format. The device
can plug into any USB port to provide flexible, high-speed connectivity for mobile or
nomadic wireless broadband access. This allows the end users to experience the same
easy, reliable access to broadband speeds on the go – indoors and outdoors.
“Wateen Telecom’s ambitious expansion plans allow the company to reach a wider
customer base and address popular demand,” said Ali Amer, vice president, Middle
East, Africa and Pakistan, Motorola Home & Networks Mobility. “It is a testament to
the strength and breadth of our WiMAX CPE portfolio that Wateen continues to offer
only Motorola devices to its customers across Pakistan.”
Wateen Telecom said it believes that the CPE units will provide a larger number of
subscribers in Pakistan with unprecedented access to flexible and affordable wireless
data and voice services. The facilities provided include basic telephony and fast
Internet access to secure data connectivity, IBM stated.
Recently, the home and networks mobility unit of Motorola has reiterated its
commitment to both WiMAX and LTE as the leading technologies for the next
generation. Both WiMAX and LTE allow for the media experiences that people want,
and deliver the lowest cost per bit for operators. Both technologies serve distinct
markets, according to Motorola.

16. Wateen launches WiMAX network
KARACHI (WiMAX Day). The CEO of Wateen Telecom, Mr Tariq Malik, sent a
congratulatory note to staff and customers as he announced the lanuch of their
mobile WiMAX network in Pakistan. “We are proud to be the largest and the first
in the world to roll-out WiMAX 802.16e network nationwide in 22 cities,” said
Malik. Earlier this year Wateen awarded a contract to Motorola to deploy its
WiMAX network, and both companies have been working fast and furious ever
since. The Wateen network is a major milestone for Motorola as some say it is the
largest such mobile WiMAX network in existence today. Wateen Telecom is owned
by Abu Dhabi Group, which also owns Warid Telecom, a GSM operator in Pakistan
with over 4 million customers.
Wateen Telecom launches massive WiMAX network in Pakistan
By Darren Murph posted Dec 17th 2007 3:49PM
Good news for those in Pakistan hungry for another link to the 'net: Wateen Telecom
has officially launched its WiMAX / HFC services for the consumer market.
Reportedly, Motorola played a huge role in deploying the "first 802.16e commercial
WiMAX network in Pakistan," and according to Wateen, it's the largest WiMAX
network "ever installed." In case you hadn't already guessed, Wateen Telecom is
indeed an Abu Dhabi venture, and the service will initially be made available in 22
cities
Wateen Telecom-Pakistan selects Motorola to manage
newly-announced wi4 WiMAX network
Enabling Wateen to focus critical resources, the Motorola managed services contract
will also empower the service provider to increase efficiencies and keep up with
rapidly advancing technologies.
Wateen Telecom-Pakistan is part of Warid Telecom International LLC, an Abu Dhabi
Group company led by His Highness Sheikh Nahayan Mabarak Al Nahayan. HH
Sheikh Nahayan formally signed the new contract with senior Motorola executives,
including Eric Pradier, Vice President Network Services, Europe, Middle East, Africa
(EMEA) and Latin America Caribbean, (LAC), Motorola Networks & Enterprise.
Under the managed services contract, Motorola will take responsibility for the
operations and maintenance of the wi4WiMAX/IMS network according to an
established set of key performance indicators. The services included in the contract
will ensure that Wateen's evolving WiMAX infrastructure stays current and
responsive to business demand.
"The Wateen network is a multi-faceted project that combines a number of new
technologies. This managed services agreement with Motorola will enable the
16
17. combined team to realize Wateen's vision of 'Broadband Pakistan' quickly and
efficiently,"
said HH Sheikh Nahayan Mabarak Al Nahayan.
"This managed services agreement allows Wateen to leverage Motorola's standards-
compliant infrastructure, skilled staff, clear operational processes and demonstrated
ability to manage a network of this complexity and diverse emerging technologies,"
said HH Sheikh Nahayan.
One of the key elements in Wateen Telecom-Pakistan's decision to opt for a managed
services agreement was time to market. "Often in these wide-ranging nationwide
infrastructure roll-outs, the operator has to devote large portions of their internal team
to managing the day-to-day operational requirements of the network," said Eric
Pradier.
"Wateen's management had the vision and clarity to opt for a single point of contact
that integrates the response to all service requirements, freeing the operator to focus
on running its business and serving customers across the country," continued Pradier.
The announcement of the managed services agreement between Wateen and Motorola
comes just weeks after the two companies signed an agreement for the planning,
design and deployment of a nationwide wireless broadband voice and data network in
Pakistan. From a technology perspective, the announcement heralded the world's
largest nationwide commercial WiMAX 802.16e contract and leveraged Motorola's
IMS solution.
The 802.16e-based wi4™ WiMAX access network and subscriber units will enable
Wateen Telecom-Pakistan to offer broadband data services covering residential
Internet access and voice services, corporate hosted VoiP and virtual private networks
(VPN) and public hotspots. The solution will provide the access network, subscriber
units, IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) core and services to quickly and cost-
effectively connect the unconnected.
A portion of purchase price will be financed by Motorola.

37. CONCLUSION
After talking about the corporate structure of the company, and defining the
problem and its specific components, and conduction research, now it is the time
to conclude our report. In the report we see that 50 % customers of PTCL and they
used almost 65 % DSL service. Almost 70% customers use internet on daily bases
and they prefer more speed like 1 MB. According to our survey there are 65 %
peoples who have income level above 30,000. The switching behavior of the
customers is 62 %. And they want to change their internet connection on the basis
of high speed and better connectivity with quality services.
Wateen still behaves as a monopoly so it has to change its attitude. ν Wateen
needs to invest in infrastructure (more routers etc) to solve connectivity problems.
ν Needs to train its customer service representatives. ν At a minimum, avoiding
billing errors and providing competent and courteous service to its customers is
essential if Wateen wants to show that it is transforming itself to a competitive
company which cares for its customers

38. RECOMMENDATIONS
• They should provide connection with proper device which have no problem of
disconnectivity.
• They should continually remain in touch with customers.
• They should set the price keeping in view the income level of their customers.
• They should provide different packages for different users like for students on
discount rates.
• They should provide more speed as much possible because almost 50%
customers want to change their connection to get better speed.
• Wateen needs innovative service offerings — currently it doesn’t even offer
bundles or server which provides entertainment channels.
• As Wateen is using Warid towers so due to load of cellular services the the
signals of Wateen got weak. So they need to separate there towers so improve
there performance.
• The router provided by Wateen should be of good quality, or more than one
router should be given by them so the signal problem should be resolved.
• People are not satisfied with the call centers and the customer service. The
response from call centres should be positive and valid which results in
satisfied customers. For its success Wateen will have to do more than just
depend upon its wireless connectivity feature
