As the leading Telecommunications company in Palestine, Paltel prides itself on having long-term strategic partnerships with leading telecom solutions providers. “Today we mark another great milestone by signing a strategic agreement for the voice network with GENBAND, one of the best providers in the world,” said Ammar Aker, PALTEL CEO.

Paltel GM, Maen Melhem added “Paltel has always been seeking to offer state-of-the-art voice and Internet services and deploy the latest technologies which enable us to deliver higher Internet speeds; Today Palestine’s average speed is amongst the highest in the Middle East. In addition, Paltel is steadily moving towards IoT and offering smart home and home automation solutions, thus we believe GENBAND’s solution fits our needs perfectly, and enables us to fulfil our promise to our subscribers in delivering more advanced services in highest quality.”

Communications Service Providers (CSPs) around the world must come up with innovative new services to grow revenues in today’s competitive environment. Transforming legacy networks to IP allows them to maximize their opportunities in areas as diverse as analytics, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Over-the-Top (OTT), Internet of Things (IoT) and more.

“We’ve had a long and successful history of working with Paltel, and are pleased to be able to support them in the evolution of their network,” said David Hiscock, GENBAND’s SVP of EMEA Sales. “Our Network Transformation solution is geared to helping our customers accelerate their time to market, improve their service offering, and leverage their infrastructure for increased growth and capabilities.”

GENBAND’s Voice Network Transformation solution significantly consolidates and modernizes voice services infrastructure and eliminates inefficiencies, enhancing CSPs’ service agility and operational effectiveness and improving the environment for introducing new services and enhancing competitiveness. This transformative solution also dramatically reduces power, HVAC, space and staffing costs, lowering overall OPEX for improved financials.
