“When we founded AWCC, Afghanistan had had no international dialing code, no working landline service, and people had to walk to Pakistan in order to place an international call. Today, AWCC provides 4G LTE, High-Definition Voice, Data, Internet and Mobile Payment
Services to more than 5,000,000 subscribers living in all 34 provinces of Afghanistan,” said Dr. Ehsanollah Bayat, the Founder of AWCC and Chairman of The Bayat Group. “Today, an
AWCC subscriber can now call anywhere in the world, bring their mobile device and roam in more than 125 nations, make mobile payments, or even live stream sporting events via Ariana Television, our company’s broadcast network,” Dr. Bayat said.
“These sixteen years of our work in Afghanistan have been both challenging and very rewarding. It has been a road of progress that we’ve been grateful to help build, and travel with our fellow Afghans,” Dr. Bayat said.
“Our selection by International Finance Magazine as Afghanistan’s Best Media and Telecom CEO is a welcome recognition of the progress that Afghan Wireless, Telephone Systems International, and The Bayat Group has made as a company—but much more importantly—this award acknowledges Afghanistan’s progress as a nation.”
