Afghan Wireless Communication Company
Afghan Wireless, with a primary motive of connecting Afghanistan seamlessly, was the first mobile services company in Afghanistan.
Afghan Wireless Communication Company started in 2002 by the visionary Mr. Ehsan Bayat, the Chairman of the Company, with a zeal to establish an Afghan company for the people of Afghanistan.
Post the conflict era, Afghanistan faced the uphill task of rebuilding itself; the first step was to build the communication infrastructure. Afghan Wireless promoted by Telephone Systems International was more than eager to contribute its share in this endeavour. Today the company stands tall with more milestones than it had initially planned to reach.
To its credit, Afghan Wireless boasts of covering all the provinces in the country. We’ve invested over $400,000,000 to develop Afghanistan’s most resilient and fail-safe wireless communications network. Our system of 1027 base stations and additional transmission capacity ensures that our network is always available—even in the remotest areas of Afghanistan.
The company as a responsible and committed corporate citizen, involves itself in to lend a helping hand to the social causes through Bayat Foundation, an active NGO supported by Afghan Wireless.
