Bravo-Telecom is a digital radio trunking operator in Saudi Arabia under a BOT agreement with the incumbent operator STC. It was launched in 2005 using Motorola's proprietary iDEN technology operating on the SMR-800 frequency band.
Bravo-Telecom's focus is professional radio service to the corporate and governmental sector, with no consumer-centric prepaid offering because the network is in partnership with the incumbent operator STC which runs its own GSM and 3G network under the commercial name of Aljawal which primarily addresses this sector.
The other two cellular operators launch a PTT service similar in function to the one offered by Bravo through its digital trunking network, but the former companies used a technology called PoC to facilitate this offering.
Bravo-Telecom's sister company in neighboring Jordan XPress operates the same system, which enables customers in both sides to place international PTT calls, a similar service to the one operated between Sprint Nextel's iDEN subscribers and their counterparts in other operators in the Americas such as Telus iDEN customers in Canada and Mexico's Nextel subscribers.
The company is owned by two shareholders, a local company called NASCO and the Dubai based Wataniya Int'l which was later wholly acquired by Qatari based Ooredoo in 2007. The company major share holder is now Ooredoo.
