Wateen Telecom, Pakistan’s leading converged communication service provider, has completed deployment of Wi-Fi Hotspots at Government of Punjab educational institutions. These hotspots will enable students at government institutions across the province to gain vital access to the numerous educational resources on the internet.
“The company has deployed 126 hotspots in 22 educational institutes using the Indoor Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) with built-in Wi-Fi equipment. While 109 hotspots are being deployed using Outdoor Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) along with best quality Wi-Fi routers. These 235 hotspots will enable access to education with just the click of a button,” said an official of Wateen Pakistan.
