  • In 1996, Axiom Telecom was founded by an Emarati entrepreneur, Faisal Al Bannai, with four employees at the start of its operations. In 1999, Axiom became the official distributors for most of the prominent mobile consumer brands in the UAE, including Nokia and Sony Ericsson, and had already sold the largest number of Nokia branded communicators in the Middle East. In 2001, Axiom grew rapidly and introduced its first retail outlet in the UAE. In 2003, Axiom started its regional roll-out, and has since established presence in Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman, Saudi Arabia (2006), Egypt (2007), London in 2007 and India (2007). In December 2005, TECOM, a member of Dubai Holding, acquired a 40% share of the Axiom Telecom. The relationship is expected to further accelerate Axiom's growth and strengthen its market position using Dubai Holding’s vast infrastructure which has interests in sectors such as ICT, media, tourism. At the start of 2007, Axiom enhanced the program for its Nokia and Sony Ericsson mobile phones customers with its free pick up and delivery service. Today Axiom owns and operates stores through partner arrangements in the UAE with Spinneys and Union Co-op outlets. Axiom is also the exclusive telecom partner for Emarat, Enoc & Eppco Petrol stations where mobile phone accessories are sold in over 200 locations. With this strategy of highly branded conveniently located outlets with petrol stations helping drive the rapid retail expansion, Axiom Telecom's regional roll-out has achieved more than 500 points of presence in the Middle East.
