Nayatel and Alcatel-Lucent To Deploy GPON In Pakistan In 2009
Alcatel-Lucent today announced that Nayatel is preparing to deploy the first gigabit passive optical network (GPON) in Pakistan. This blazing fast network will provide its customers with the most advanced triple-play services – such as high-definition television, innovative telephony services and ultraband Internet access. Nayatel’s Pakistani customers can expect the new network to be up and running by the end of 2009. Wahaj us Siraj, CEO, Nayatel said:
In 2005, Nayatel was the first operator to deploy a fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) network solution in South Asia, and today we have once again pioneered the Pakistani market by becoming the first adopter of GPON technology in the country.
With Alcatel-Lucent’s industry-leading GPON solution, we will be able to offer our customers a whole new range of next-generation, ultraband applications that leverage our network’s true gigabit speeds. All in all, we will soon be able to offer our customers a service experience which was once only dreamed in this part of the world.
“Nayatel’s GPON deployment in Pakistan, will enable their end-users to truly experience the power of next-generation triple-play services,” said Vincenzo Nesci, President of Alcatel-Lucent’s business in the Middle East and Africa. “This contract highlights Nayatel’s continuous confidence in our solutions and expertise,” he adds.
According to the latest MRG IPTV Market Leaders report , Alcatel-Lucent dominates the global IPTV Access market with a 41% market share (four times the market share of its nearest competitor). In its report, MRG confirms that Alcatel-Lucent is the only vendor focusing on all four (geographic) regions, and is deployed in 10 out of the top 25 IPTV service providers worldwide. From an FTTH perspective, Alcatel-Lucent has more than 90 fiber deployments ongoing worldwide, with a mix of GPON and point-to-point roll-outs.

TelecomPk.Net is a leading source of information and analysis about Pakistan Telecom industry. 
Wateen is first pioneer company in south asia who has deployed first GPON netwrok in Multan and Lahore aswell. Nayatel has deployed BPON technology which is much different from GPON and has limited bandwidth than GPON…
GPON is most powerful wired Network
But why it is not implementing in Pakistan
Why PTCL is not adopting this network
With telecom geniuses like Amira and other similiar “think tanks”, who see more prospects in “Cheap Channels” and do not feel the need of broadband, I’m not surprised why Pakistan is lagging way behind our neighbours – who are now going for 16 Mbps per sub.
Wateen has no fiber Outside Plant (OSP) in multan. Just by buying or signing contracts with a vendor does not mean that the operator has ‘rolled out’ a particular technology. There are no wateen GPON customers in Multan. FYI.
Saleem Khan, I stand by my story ..If you would have read the whole article, you would have came to the different conclusion.
The news is out by Alcatel lucent themselves. This news has been shared all over the cyber world at various IT and telecom blogs. I got this information from their website
http://www.alcatel-lucent.com/wps/portal/!ut/p/kcxml/04_Sj9SPykssy0xPLMnMz0vM0Y_QjzKLd4×3tXDUL8h2VAQAURh_Yw!!?LMSG_CABINET=Docs_and_Resource_Ctr&LMSG_CONTENT_FILE=News_Releases_2009/News_Article_001583.xml
and shared it with the propakistani readers.
My fellow at Telecompk has published whole of the press release whereas the article at propakistani.com covered the Passive optical network technology itself.
I hope i have cleared your doubts on this one.
NOTICE:
Want to bring in your notice that the website http://www.propakistani.com/2009/05/28/nayatel-to-deploy-pakistan-first-gigabit-passive-optical-network/comment-page-1/#comment-14815 has copied paste your same article on every next date and posted on his website without even mentioning your website name.
Shame Shame Shame…ProPakistani.com
It makes sense for a company like Cybernet to get into this venture because of covering nation wide parameter of their services but what is in for Nayatel to invest much for a single city? This is actually stupid planning without knowing your market.
Nayatel has currently deployed BPON, which does not meet high bandwidth requirements and its current bandwidth limitation is a problem for the carriers, thats why i believe GPON has alot of significance specially in bandwidth hungry inter office connectivity.
[...] This cup of tea was served by: State of Telecom Industry in Pakistan [...]
I believe that Nayatel’s venture i.e. GPON deployment is not the first of its kind in Pakistan for Wateen has already deployed a GPON network in Multan; i.e. to begin with and are using it as a test case. Moreover, Wateen’s GPON deployment has been in the works for quite some time now – however, i haven’t yet heard anything about the outcome of this test case.
Pakistan is not there yet for the triple play. I don’t know what’s the business case for this deployment , but a holistic overivew of the Pakistani market shows there is no need for the GPON yet.
In most developed world almost more then 70% of the given tripple play bandwidth is used for the HDTV, VoD but in case of pakistan with the cheap availability of “Cable Channels” this bandwidth thrust is not there. A customer don’t want 100 mbps for watching youtube.
I know that Nayatel is using FTTP for quite a long time can some one explain what’s the customer bandwidth usage trend .
To me it seems to be the test ground for the Alcatel’s GPON deployment or Alcatel don’t want to support the Nayatel old BPON deployment.
