Jordan's first mobile operator, Fastlink, has announced its readiness to invest some $130 million in the Aqaba Special Economic Zone (ASEZ) to establish, among other projects, a wireless local loop (WLL), reported the Jordan Times newspaper on Sunday.
The WLL is a type of technology that has successfully allowed the deployment of millions of voice and data lines at reduced costs in countries like Australia and Morocco.
“We look at Aqaba as a model to be applied to the rest of the country,” Fastlink's deputy general manager, Basem Rousan, told the paper.
The ASEZ was officially launched last month – Albawaba.com
