Pakistan Telecommunication Access Providers Association
BrainTEL Limited firmly believes that true progress lies in collaboration. Our well-established and effective association with the Pakistan Telecommunication Access Providers Association (PTAPA) testifies this belief. Brain, as a founding member of PTAPA, has brought together the country's key telecom dealers to elevate the industry for over ten years. Under our CEO, Dr. Shahid Farooq Alvi's consistent leadership, who also serves as President of PTAPA, Brain has continued to devote its all to Pakistan's telecommunications sector.
Key Areas of Contribution
Dr. Shahid and BrainTEL's team of experts guides our collaborative work with PTAPA, which focuses on four main pillars.
Telecom Sector Support
BrainTEL continues to assist PTAPA in its mission of developing innovative policies, lending business advisory and leading vital research. We aim to promote continuous progress and innovation in the telecom and ICT industries.
Capacity Building
Our dedication to nourish the telecom sector thoroughly remains unchanged. With PTAPA's assistance, BrainTEL has successfully enhanced the technical and management capabilities of experts across the tech industry by aiding specialized training programs and providing access to industry experts.
Advocacy and Collaboration
PTAPA and BrainTEL together, advocate for the mutual interests of telecom businesses at government and regulatory forums. This allows us to demand solutions to critical regulatory issues and forge alliances that open countless doors for a supportive business ecosystem.
Infrastructure Development
BrainTEL has always supported PTAPA's initiatives to bring about cost-effective and strong telecom infrastructure. Which includes openly supporting megaprojects that update Pakistan's network foundations and advocating for low national bandwidth costs.
Pioneering Projects and National Initiatives
BrainTEL and PTAPA together have delivered concrete results for Pakistan. Some of our megaprojects are:
Karachi Telecom Common Corridor (KTCC)
Under Dr. Shahid's prestigious leadership, PTAPA greatly supported the Sindh Government and KMC's mission to beautify Karachi by deliberately shifting aerial cables underground. This proved incredibly vital for a modern and safe urban infrastructure.
Lahore Common Corridor Projects (LCCP)
We also stood beside the Punjab Government and supported the underground cabling projects across Lahore, which led to a massive enhancement of the city's aesthetics and network reliability.
Ongoing Advocacy
BrainTEL with PTAPA's close assistance, firmly advocates to reduce operational costs for the entire industry. Brain has regularly worked with authorities for the fair pricing on bandwidth and other essential telecom resources.
