Palestinian Operator Launches Vehicle Tracking Service
Palestinian GSM network operator, Jawwal has launched a Fleet management service in cooperation with Hulul and Wasel companies. The service will help the companies and institutions to monitor and mange their fleet of vehicles more efficiently using GPS.
Mr.Mustafa Hassan ;Hulul's CEO said," This new technology will give you the ability to generate reports for all your vehicles movements, track their precise location, traveled distances and average speed". On how will this technology help the beneficiary company, MR. Hassan commented," Fleet management will reduce communication and fuel costs,improve employees' performance".
Commenting on Jawwal's vision in launching such services, Mr.Ammar Aker said," Although Jawwal is living difficult conditions, yet we were able to stay up to date with every service we offer."
Jawwal is currently the monopoly mobile operator in the territories - although Wataniya is due to launch a second network towards the end of this year. The Mobile World subscriber database notes that Jawwal is estimated to have just over 1 million subscribers. Within the Palestinian Territories though, some 1.7 million mobile phones are in use. This is due to the Israeli networks "leaking" over the borders and providing service to Palestinians.
