Afghan Wireless (AWCC) is a cellular network provider in Afghanistan which was launched on 13 November 2002 by Ehsan Bayat. It is a joint venture business between Telephone Systems International in the United States and the Afghan Ministry of Communications. Afghan Wireless signed a 15 year-contract with the Afghan Ministry of Communications, which has a 20% stake in Afghan Wireless. Some services were taken over by Ertebat in 2009, but has returned. Some services are provided by both companies as partners.
The company provides GSM services in the four major cities of Afghanistan, including Kabul, Kandahar, Herat, and Mazar-i-Sharif.
