Antenna Technology Communications Inc. (ATCi) has now completed one year opertations of an advanced cellular communications system for Mobile Telecommunications Company (MTC). MTC offers mobile telephony services in Kuwait and is currently one of the leading mobile operators in the Middle East. They have more than 3.4 million customers across the region in Kuwait, Bahrain, Jordan, Iraq, and Lebanon. MTC is currently known as MTC-Vodafone in Kuwait and Bahrain, Fastlink in Jordan, MTC Atheer in Iraq, MTC Touch in Lebanon, and Celtel in Africa (13 countries). In cooperation with Intelsat‘s global satellite fleet over the Middle East, ATCi has been able to complete GSM services from principally Iraq to anywhere in the world. The contract signed between the two companies calls for an after-care warrantee period upon the Intelsat verification of the integrity of the circuit to ensure continued high quality communications to these regions for the future. ATCi is in the process of implementing additional cost-effective GSM backhaul systems which are being implemented throughout the Middle East and Africa over the upcoming years.
