CEO of wi-tribe Pakistan limited, Mohammad Sadiq, says: “WiMAX is changing the way people are connecting and is opening doors to a new world of opportunities. We will be offering high-speed Internet that is simple, affordable, and a portable alternative to fixed broadband. The Motorola WiMAX solution frees customers from the fixed line services.”
