Jordanian operator Umniah, a subsidiary of Batelco Group, has agreed to set up a new company with the Jordan Electric Power Company (Jepco) to create the infrastructure for a large-scale fibre optic network servicing the areas operated by Jepco. This will deliver wholesale high bandwidth internet services to telecom companies and service providers, eventually reaching more than 1.4 million homes and businesses.
A new company co-owned by Jepco and Umniah will be established and once all necessary permits and certifications are acquired, it will roll out a new fibre optic network covering all the areas in which Jepco operates. This in turn will serve subscribers of both companies in addition to offering wholesale services to other service providers.
The new fibre optic network will help countless communities gain access to reliable broadband internet and to take advantage of the full potential of the modern, digital age.
