Oman telecom operator, Omantel has now deployed 5G across all the populated areas in the governorates of Muscat, Al Batinah South and Al Batinah North.
Aladdin Baitfadhil, Chief Commercial Officer at Omantel stated, “We have successfully rolled out a large number of new 5G sites in the populated areas of Muscat, Al Batinah North and Al Batinah South governorates. These new sites will serve home internet and mobile internet alike, and users will get an optimum speed even at the edge of the coverage range.”
The city of Salalah is one among many other locations that the company has targeted due to the high demand for an ultra-fast internet connection.
“We managed to ensure a fast and steady connection everywhere within the coverage range, even for mobile users, through smaller 5G cells that connect to the main tower” he explained.
Baitfadhil further said, “5G is an integral part of Omantel’s ecosystem and we have the widest coverage of the network in Oman. We see 5G as the key enabler for Industry 4.0 technologies, like IoT, Cloud Computing, Big Data & Analytics, Augmented Reality and Artificial Intelligence, with its massive network capacity and ultra-low latency. Our role, at Omantel, is to lay the groundwork to help our partners in the public and private sectors to tap into the growing opportunities that arise as technology advances.”
5G offers a seamless internet experience, and it takes home and mobile services to a whole new level of excellence. With the high throughput and ultra-low latency, customers can now experience immersive gaming, cloud gaming, Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR) capabilities and much more.
