Furthering its commitment to launching innovative communication services in Jordan and the region, Umniah has pioneered the local market, as the first telecommunications operator to introduce the WiMAX technology to Jordan. Introducing this service through its brand name UMAX, the Company is presenting an application that offers wireless internet connectivity while increasing levels of internet penetration in Jordan. In light of this launch, Umniah has done its share for introducing this service to members of the community. It achieved this goal by organizing a series of awareness lectures about UMAX earlier this year. 2008 Al Bawaba (www.albawaba.com)
