In 1995, Zain Jordan revolutionized telecommunications in Jordan by introducing GSM mobile services into
the country.
Zain quickly became the foremost telecom company in Jordan, a position that it kept to this day through a far sighted policy of investment in adopting cutting edge technology to provide state-of-the-art services to customers.
Since its inception, Zain Jordan has tallied subscriber growth at an exceptional rate, with the number of subscribers currently around 4.615 million subscribers in the kingdom. Through about 5290 cell sites, Zain covers the entire populated area of Jordan.
Aiming at maintaining its leading position in the market, Zain acquired in 2014 the license to provide Fourth Generation services “LTE” for the first time in the kingdom, whereby these services provide up to 150 Mb per second.
Zain launched LTE services to include all the governorates of the Kingdom in the first quarter of 2015.
And back in 2011, Zain launched high-speed Zain Broadband services through modern HSPA+ technology across all Jordanian governorates upon its launch.
Zain Jordan is a pioneer in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), by launching and supporting various national initiatives that go beyond developing the telecom sector, as Zain is considered the main supporter for several sectors including Education, Youth, and Health, Sports, Environment and philanthropy.
Zain is also considered to be one of the Jordanian economy pillars, as it embraces around one thousand employees, provides thousands of indirect job opportunities and is the operator of choice for more than
4.615 million Jordanian customers.
Aiming at supporting the entrepreneurship realm in Jordan, Zain inaugurated the Zain Innovation Campus (ZINC), in November 2014. It is the first of its kind across the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, where Zain provides Jordanian entrepreneurs and startups with all the requirements to develop and to transform their creative and innovative ideas into productive projects that shall be marketed locally, regionally and globally.
Located at the King Hussein Business Park, ZINC is equipped with the latest technology and facilities and services, in addition to providing consulting and guidance, and the opportunity to access a network of nearly 70 strategic partners, representing the world's leading technology corporates, businesses and startups, and companies interested in embracing creative ideas from various sectors.
It is worth mentioning that Zain Group acquired Zain Jordan in January 2003, in what was considered to be the largest single acquisition in the Middle East region, and the largest private sector investment in Jordan.
