In what is believed to be the largest WiMAX network of its kind, Motorola has been selected as primary supplier to Pakistan's Wateen Telecom, part of Warid Telecom International, to plan, design and deploy a nationwide WiMAX network. It will be launched in March 2007"It also demonstrates how an emerging country can leapfrog directly to innovative next-generation technology, and smoothly deploy a cutting edge communications infrastructure".
NIIT Case Study
In August 2006 NIIT announced it that has 'made an entrance into high-performance computing by setting up the first grid enabled super computing facility in Pakistani academia. As part of an ongoing collaborative research with CERN-Europe and SLAC-USA, the NIIT cluster will also act as a node for the computational and data Grid, spanning the globe to analyze data from particle physics experiments, solving highly complex matrices, simulate physical phenomena in electromagnetics, to model devices in quantum electronics and to analyze massive data sets in bioinformatics and seismology. NIIT's high performance center will be a cluster of four SUN Microsystems V890 64-bit compute servers (8 microprocessors in each server), 4 high-end 64-bit SUN UltraSPARC dual processor workstations, 21 mid-range Sun UltraSPARC 64-bit single processor workstations, 05 AMD 64-bit Opteron Workstations, 3 high-performance SunFire V240 dual processor file servers and 1.5 Terabyte storage, all connected over a gigabit speed Myrinet network. With total of more than 64 processors available for computation and more than 256 gigabyte of RAM, the cluster will constitute a hybrid shared-memory and distributed-memory parallel computer. The cluster will therefore enable researchers to model and simulate computationally expensive experiments not only locally but will also facilitate them to run their jobs on internationally available grid enabled clusters across the world.'
