The network spans the entire country covering more than 120 cities, across more than 14,000 kilometers.

Multinet’s upgrade incorporates Cassini, TIP’s disaggregated coherent switch and open packet transponder built by Edgecore Networks, and IP Infusion’s OcNOS, the industry’s full-featured network OS for white box disaggregated network solutions that provides the scalable transition to open and agile networks.

Multinet is also deploying TIP’s OpenWiFi technology to power Wi-Fi networks across the country, providing seamless high-speed connectivity for public, hospitality, sports and entertainment, and retail enterprise customers. Multinet is the first managed service provider in the region to deploy OpenWiFi’s technology stack to provide seamless, fast, and affordable connectivity.

OpenWiFi is an open source-based Wi-Fi architecture that enables multi-vendor, interoperable Wi-Fi networks enabling it to easily expand its Wi-Fi footprint with a robust experience.

Multinet is using Edgecore APs integrated with their ecOpen Cloud Controller technology for their OpenWiFi network and hotspots backhauled with high speed optical fiber infrastructure for top of the line user experience, buildout with local System Integrator partner in Pakistan, STARCOM Technologies (Pvt) Limited.
