Transworld Associates: Pakistan's backbone for international connectivity.
The booming telecom sector with its increasing broadband connectivity, record cellular subscribers and a maturing corporate customer base requires an optimum international communication backbone that meets critical reliability, stability and scalability requirements guaranteed by service level agreements based on international Tier 1 standards.
Transworld was set up in the wake of the deregulation and privatization of the Pakistan telecom sector and was given a mandate to operate the first privately owned international submarine fiber optic cable system for the purpose of providing the burgeoning telecom sector an alternative option for international internet and voice connectivity. The TW1 cable system owned by Transworld commenced operations in 2006. It spans 1,274 km across the Arabian sea and connects Karachi, Pakistan to Al Seeb, Oman and Fujairah, UAE where it seamlessly peers with other Tier 1 carrier networks to provide consumers in Pakistan international L2/L3 connectivity to the internet cloud and to any destination in the world.
In the few years of its operations, Transworld has quickly become the favored choice of every major Broadband ISP, licensed voice operator and large corporation that require Tier 1 bandwidth to connect to the global community. It is a vital artery for voice and data communications in and out of the country and one of the major internet routes for Pakistan.
