Among the major catalysts and enablers of CPEC’s sustained progress has been Pakistan’s preferred connectivity partner Zong 4G, Gwadar Pro reported on Thursday.
In a majority of CPEC projects, Zong 4G is playing the role of primary connectivity provider, mainly because of its unrivalled network footprint and best-in-class high-speed data products and services that have stimulated digital penetration in the country.
With over 36 Million subscribers the 100% owned subsidiary of China Mobile Communications Corporation, Zong 4G, has seen exponential growth in the last few years to increase it by 10 folds to about 22%.
Being the Chinese communication company in Pakistan, Zong 4G has also helped foster economic activities creating 3,500 direct and over 200,000 in-direct employment opportunities in Pakistan.
Zong 4G’s remarkable contribution to CPEC is made possible by the operator’s passion for empowering Pakistan and its people. Having a strong faith in the ability of technology to alter lives and elevate lifestyles, Zong has spearheaded the country’s digital transformation for many years.
From being the pioneers of 4G in Pakistan, first successful 5G testing to MEC (Multi-access Edge Computing) and NB-IoT trials, Zong continues to lead the industry through its technological prowess. “Most of us don’t even realize the level of interaction that we will have with technology in years to come, and we’re not even talking about some distant future,” shares Wang Hua, Chairman and CEO Zong told Gwadar Pro.
