Ooredoo Qatar has announced the launch of Qatar’s first 5G+ mobile network. This latest evolution of its connectivity infrastructure lays the foundation for enhanced digital experiences for consumers and smarter, more responsive operations for businesses.
The 5G+ network builds on 5G standalone, which Ooredoo Qatar was the first to deploy, and 5G Advanced to support increasingly demanding digital applications with faster speeds, greater network capacity, and lower latency. These improvements enable more devices to connect and exchange information efficiently, while shorter response times support applications such as real-time equipment monitoring and automated processes.
For consumers, the 5G+ network supports enhanced streaming, more responsive gaming and seamless connectivity on the move. Ooredoo has deployed this new technology across Qatar. It is commercially available through mobile broadband in areas covered by the 5G+ network, so consumers, including campers during the camping season, can enjoy its benefits.
For businesses, these capabilities provide a foundation for more efficient operations and better-informed decisions. Enhanced network reliability and performance support real-time monitoring, AI-enabled services, and complex digital workloads. Network slicing tailors connectivity to specific applications, while advanced 5G networks and edge computing support mission-critical applications that require rapid responses. Expanded IoT capabilities also support industrial sensors, asset trackers, and utility meters, enabling automation, intelligent operations, and future smart city services.
Sheikh Ali bin Jabor bin Mohammad Al Thani, Chief Executive Officer of Ooredoo Qatar, said, “The launch of the 5G+ network reflects Ooredoo Qatar’s continued investment in Qatar’s digital future, which depends on infrastructure that is ready for what comes next. With the 5G+ network, we are enhancing everyday digital experiences for our consumers, enabling innovation, and strengthening the competitiveness of businesses across the country. From launching the world’s first 5G network in 2018 to deploying Qatar’s first 5G Standalone core network, we have consistently advanced connectivity. This launch marks the next step in that journey, supporting the next generation of digital services across Qatar.”
