Etisalat yesterday added the Sultanate of Oman and Indonesia to the countries which are connected to the UAE through the ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network) link.

The new addition has brought to 41 the total number of countries with whom Etisalat have an ISDN link.

The ISDN network provides end to end connectivity to support a wide range of services including voice, video and data to the entire Etisalat customer database, including corporate, medium business enterprises or private consumers.

An official of Etisalat said that ISDN offers a higher bandwidth for transmission than standard fixed lines, providing superior quality for voice, data and video uses. It also offers fast 64k and 128k upstream and downstream access to the Internet.

He said the link also offers inexpensive digital access to the worldwide telecommunications network on a dial up basis.
