Nayatel outperformed competition to win Higher Education Commission (HEC) Project - 7th, July 2007

Nayatel has been awarded the prestigious Pakistan Educational Research Network (PERN-II) project by Higher Education Commission (HEC). The project awarded after open competitive bidding, involves installation and commissioning of a 10 Gbits optical fiber ring to connect 18 Universities in Islamabad and Rawalpindi. Nayatel would provide dark fiber of 207 km length for this connectivity to be put online within next 3-4 months for contract duration of 10 years.

The competitors in the run for the project were PTCL, Wateen Telecom and Multinet. Nayatel was ranked No. 1 in both technical as well as financial evaluations.
