AG Telecom is retiring its legacy Wasel CDMA network and launching Phoenix — a next-generation, 100% diesel-free green network engineered in Dubai for the region's institutions, enterprises, and communities.
For government, enterprise, and investor inquiries.
Phoenix is built on low-band n20 spectrum in the 800 MHz range. Lower frequencies travel farther and penetrate deeper — delivering dependable indoor coverage where legacy networks fade.
Superior indoor penetration · Fewer sites, wider reach
Every Phoenix site is engineered to run without a single litre of diesel. Solar generation paired with battery energy storage systems (BESS) powers the network — cutting emissions, noise, and fuel logistics from day one.
Solar + BESS architecture · Zero diesel, by design
AG Telecom operates from Dubai under the UAE's institutional and regulatory standards — bringing transparent governance, disciplined capital stewardship, and credible oversight to every layer of the Phoenix network.

Every network has a lifespan. Wasel's CDMA infrastructure served its era with distinction — connecting communities when few others could. But technology does not stand still, and neither do the people who depend on it. As CDMA sunsets worldwide, continuing to maintain legacy architecture would mean accepting slower speeds, narrower coverage, and a shrinking ecosystem of devices and support.
We chose a different path. AG Telecom made the deliberate decision to retire the Wasel CDMA network in full — not to patch it, but to replace it with something fundamentally better.
That something is Phoenix.
Phoenix is a next-generation network designed from first principles: low-band spectrum for reach, modern architecture for capacity, and a power system that burns no diesel at all. Solar generation and battery energy storage sit at the heart of every site, making Phoenix one of the region's first networks engineered to be green from the ground up — not retrofitted as an afterthought.
The name is the promise. From the infrastructure of the past rises a network built for the decades ahead: cleaner, stronger, and engineered to serve the institutions and communities who will shape the future.
Wasel connected a generation. Phoenix will empower the next.
