OOREDOO on Monday announced it has connected QNB, the largest financial institution in the Middle East and Africa, to its bespoke, pre-standardised 5G network services.
With the new service, QNB will benefit from a connectivity solution via radio technology for corporate customers who may have operations in hard-to-reach areas, as an alternative to high-speed wired networks. Ooredoo Qatar’s 5G service offers an extremely high-speed, low latency network for selected corporate applications.
On top of vastly improved coverage, Ooredoo’s 5G commercial service will also enable QNB – to offer their customers the latest in smart applications to enhance their digital lives. The bank’s customers can expect Ooredoo’s 5G commercial service to utilise the latest network technology to offer much higher speeds and capacity, as well as better latency than the existing cellular systems.
Following the launch of 5G in May 2018, in line with Qatar National Vision 2030 to deliver world-class infrastructure, Ooredoo has showcased exciting milestones including the demonstration of the world’s first driverless aerial taxi, as well as super-speed 5G in a moving vehicle at a dedicated event at The Pearl.
Speaking about the QNB deployment, Manar Khalifa al Muraikhi, director PR and Corporate Communications at Ooredoo, said: “We are exceptionally proud to be able to offer our groundbreaking 5G network services to yet another key corporate customer and, in particular, one which provides such valuable services to the citizens and residents of Qatar. We are excited to see what a phenomenal difference 5G will make to digital lives in Qatar and the wider region and look forward to continuing a productive partnership with QNB.”
Commenting on the new partnership, Yousef Darwish, general manager of QNB Group Communications, said: “Ooredoo is one of our main partners that we are proud to work closely with. This new service confirms that both parties have only one goal, which is to provide the best and latest of technology to their customers. We are keen to continue to deliver high quality solutions to our loyal customers as part of our innovative and customer service excellence.”
