  • It is not as simple as appears in the first impression. To use it, it is necessary to connect it with the base station through cables. It is simply a small extension antenna that is connected with main station. Many solutions like this are already available in the market. Its plus point is: it seems to simple and can be used with data and voice communications.

    • Your point is valid at some extent. Most of equipment installed at their (Zong and Telenor) base transceiver stations are made by ZTE where as Warid and Ufone (at some stations) both are using equipment made by Ericsson and Huawei. ZTE costs less but compromising over quality is meaningless.
