Ooredoo becomes world’s first operator to launch live 5G network
Ooredoo added another feather to its cap by becoming the world’s first operator to launch a live 5G network on the 3.5GHz spectrum band.
Ooredoo’s 5G network thus becomes the first commercially available 5G network in the world and is considered as an important technological breakthrough for the telecommunications industry worldwide, reported Gulf Times.
The breakthrough announcement was made in an event attended by Ooredoo senior management at the Ooredoo Tower in West Bay. Attendees were also briefed on the first Ooredoo 5G site which was accomplished just days after Ooredoo’s new 5G Commercial Core Network was activated, according to The Peninsula.
About 80% of Qatar would be covered under the 5G network within a year, reported Qatar Tribune.
Ooredoo Qatar CEO Waleed Mohamed Al Sayed said the first stage of Ooredoo’s 5G Supernet deployment will cover an area from The Pearl Qatar to Hamad International Airport, with Lagoona, Katara Cultural Village, West Bay, the Corniche and Souq Waqif also included in the initial commercial launch coverage area.
The Ooredoo 5G service will offer the latest network technology (5G NR), which means much higher speeds, capacity, and better latency, than existing cellular systems.
“Today, Ooredoo and Qatar make history. We’re the first company in the world to offer access to 5G technology and services, and the people of Qatar are the first to have access to the incredible benefits this technological upgrade will bring,” said Al Sayed, during the launch.
“Ooredoo has been a leader in 5G service deployment since 2016. We’ve invested in the testing and installation of our 5G network so that we can confidently open its benefits fully to our people and the world,” he added.
Access to the Ooredoo 5G Supernet will require a 5G compatible device from Ooredoo.
The company has announced that this is just the beginning of the Ooredoo 5G network, which will continue to be expanded over the coming months to cover even more areas of Qatar.
