Following a competitive bidding process, Supernet was awarded multiple contracts totaling more than Rs. 450 million by Zarai Taraqiati Bank Limited (ZTBL).
The contracts will assist ZTBL in strengthening the communication and IT infrastructure of its nationwide branch network, which is primarily located in Pakistan’s rural areas.
Supernet is actively upgrading the bank’s communication infrastructure with multi-medium communication networks, enabling branches to communicate with their head office with high uptimes.
This will be a managed service model in which Supernet will install and configure its Wide Area Network (WAN) with ZTBL’s existing devices for end-to-end seamless communication.
The presence of Supernet’s engineering resources across the country will ensure a smooth and quick deployment of this system.
Furthermore, Supernet will upgrade the bank’s current Local Area Network (LAN) at all of its 450+ branches across Pakistan, ensuring the installation of high-quality passive power and data communication infrastructure.
The bank’s appetite, demand, and design of next-generation LAN will ensure long-term and durable infrastructure availability in remote areas, which will be difficult.
ZTBL’s Executive Vice President and CIO, Mr. Aamir Zaffar Chaudry, commented, “We are depending upon the Supernet outreach in rural areas to help us in our LAN & WAN projects /operations. Our past experience with Supernet gives us the confident that they will come good on our expectations.”
Hassan Jafri, Vice President and Business Unit Head of Supernet, commented, “Award of these contracts translates trust of our client in our services. We are excited and keen to be part of strengthening networks for ZTBL that will ensure helping our country’s agriculture -ecosystem.
We will continue working with ZTBL to bring further innovative solutions and their implementation to deliver a true essence of technology for agriculture.”
