KISTA, Sweden, July 15, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Omantel has
selected Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) to support the Sultanate's ongoing
5G radio access network (RAN) deployment plans in a multi-year
partnership.
Hardware and software products and solutions from the Ericsson
Radio System portfolio, including Advanced Antenna Systems and 3GPP
standards-based 5G New Radio (NR), will be deployed in Omantel's
network. Ericsson will support Omantel's commercial 5G deployment
at key locations across Oman,
including Salalah, Nizwa and Sur.
Ericsson technology will enable Omantel to expand coverage while
simultaneously providing a network fit for the future. Ericsson's
high-speed and low-latency 5G technology will allow Omantel to meet
growing data traffic demands and deliver high-quality fixed
wireless access, as well as enhanced mobile broadband experiences.
Subscribers will be able to enjoy speeds of more than 1Gbps and low
latency in user experiences such as streaming, downloading, gaming,
infotainment and interactivity.
The technology will also enable significant benefits to industry
and enterprise in Oman. Omantel
will be able to explore and build new business models and use
cases, including Internet of Things (IoT) applications.
Eng. Samy Ahmed Al Ghassany,
Chief Operating Officer, Omantel, says: "We are constantly working
to enhance the digital lives of people, enterprises and industries
in Oman through the latest
technology available. The deployment of 5G will enable Oman to be at the forefront of digitalization,
helping us transform both industry and infrastructure and turn the
next generation of possibilities into reality. We value our
long-standing relationship with Ericsson and their engagement
during the 5G trials over the last three years. We are looking
forward to further cooperation in the 5G era."
Fadi Pharaon, President of Ericsson
Middle East and Africa,
says: "We are delighted to further strengthen our relationship with
Omantel to bring the best possible commercial 5G experience to
their customers. Ericsson is leading the way in terms of 5G
deployments across the globe and we look forward to making 5G
experiences a reality in the Sultanate. Through this
ground-breaking technology, many 5G use cases will emerge for
people as well as industries with examples such as Fixed Wireless
Access (FWA) enabling individuals and enterprises in Oman to enjoy extremely low latency and
ultra-high-speed broadband, supporting home and business
applications and for industries such as wirelessly operated harbors
and mines."
Omantel's 5G network development reflects its contribution to
the Oman 2040 Vision initiative,
as well as its commitment to empower the transformation of
Oman's business and society.
