Ooredoo Telecom continued to be at the forefront of innovated digital services in Kuwait, which proved its immunity against unexpected events with strong performance and flexibility to accept and adapt to change.
Ooredoo developed strategic partnerships, and played a role in various government social initiatives.
Among some of the partnerships in 2021 are: its collaboration with the National Bank of Kuwait (NBK) to develop digital services, products and solutions that contribute to enriching customer experience in both institutions. Ooredoo also entered a reseller agreement with BT, a leading provider of global communications services and solutions.
Ooredoo has also announced its collaboration with Nokia, which will be supplying 5G Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) equipment. An early pioneer of FWA, Ooredoo is now offering the Nokia FastMile 5G Gateway as a premium internet device for residential and business customers.
As organizations are shifting to a distributed, hybrid-cloud, multi-device world, they need to make sure they maintain security and IT retains control. Through its collaboration with Infoblox, the pioneer in delivering the world’s most reliable, secure and automated networks, to provide network infrastructure control solutions, Ooredoo ensures advanced security, reliability, and automation to its network environments.
Abdulaziz Yaqoub Al-Babtain, CEO of Ooredoo Kuwait, expressed his pride in this year’s achievements, saying: “As the COVID-19 pandemic took hold on the global economy, we were not immune to losses; yet, we worked as one body in developing strategies and a philosophy to overcome the challenges and sustain our market position along with the customer base.
“It goes without saying that Ooredoo has made quantum leaps in the world of telecommunication, technology, cybersecurity and security services, making it a well-reputed company with a leading position in the world of innovative digital services, information technology, Internet and communications.”
The year was also about improving the company’s community-related initiatives. Ooredoo is known for its reputation in providing services that offer security and safety for all members of society, as it works alongside various government agencies.
The ‘Safe Education’ campaign saw the company visit Maria Alqubtiya High School to ensure a safe return of students to schools in a healthy educational environment. The ‘Safe Education’ campaign came as a result of a collaboration of the Ministries of Education, Interior, Health and Information.
In association with the Communication and Information Technology Regulatory Authority (CITRA), Ooredoo launched ‘Safer Internet for Kids’, which aims to raise public awareness and encourage parents to take positive role in offering their children with a safer online experience.
Ooredoo Kuwait fueled the drive-in vaccination center on the south island of Sheikh Jaber Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah bridge with a wide range of innovative digital products and services to support the medical staff and the overall vaccination process.
To all those who received the COVID-19 vaccine, Ooredoo offered three months free of charge connection with post-paid subscriptions. It also provided the medical staff and workers in the Ministry of Health with smart devices, handsets, and wireless network devices (routers) with SIM cards and internet.
