New WiMAX Service for One Quarter Million Libyans

Last week Libya launched the country’s first WiMAX data service available in the country’s biggest urban centers.

Built by three leading telecommunications equipment makers, France’s Alcatel, and China’s ZTE and Huawei, this new WiMAX network is meant to accommodate more than a quarter million users. The service will be managed by Libya Telecom and Technology Corporation (LTT), the country’s primary Internet mobile services company.
