The mobile communications company MagtiCom Ltd., was commercially launched in September 1997. At present the company is owned by Telcell Wireless LLC and ITC LLC.
Mr. David Lee - the General Director is in charge of MagtiCom.
MagtiCom network covers over 97% of the populated territory of Georgia.
MagtiCom commenced operating on 900 MHz frequency band. In November 1999 MagtiCom became the first GSM operator in Georgia to move to the dual-band system - GSM 900/1800 MHz, which was determined by the intention to improve the service quality.
In 2005 MagtiCom started to build the first Third Generation network in Georgia to offer the 3G services. As a result, in summer 2006, first time in Georgia, the Company launched the new generation services along with the full range of GSM ones. Those 3G services were Magti Video Call, Magti Mobile TV and Magti High-speed Internet.
During recent years MagtiCom has been the biggest company operating in Georgia, both with respect of its contribution made to the economy of the country and the number of subscribers: MagtiCom is the first Georgian private company in the history of independent Georgia that contributed more than 580 million Lari to the economy of the country within the 10 years' period of its operation.
By means of its two brands Magti and Bali MagtiCom now renders service to one third of the population of Georgia; the number of customers is permanently increasing.
Notwithstanding stiff competition MagtiCom remains the unchallenged leader in telecommunications market of Georgia establishing new customer care standards.
