Ooredoo has successfully trialled the first International 5G call in the Arab World, the telecom provider announced on Tuesday. Ooredoo’s call took place on Tuesday between Sheikh Saud bin Nasser al Thani, chief executive officer of Ooredoo Group, and Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulla bin Mohammed al Thani, chief executive officer of Ooredoo Kuwait. The call was made by Sheikh Saud from Ooredoo’s headquarters in Doha, and received by Sheikh Mohammed in Ooredoo Kuwait’s headquarters. It took place using 5G CPEs connected at 5G speeds of up to 1 Gbps showcasing the incredible potential of 5G. Ooredoo Qatar became the first operator in the world to launch a live, commercially available 5G network in May 2018 and has since worked tirelessly to ensure it will be ready for use as soon as 5G devices become commercially available. 5G is set to revolutionise mobile and fixed connectivity with super-fast internet speeds, extreme throughput and low latency. page 4
