Ooredoo Qatar Unveils Nation’s First 5G+ Mobile Network

Ooredoo Qatar has announced the launch of what it describes as the country’s first 5G+ mobile network.

Ooredoo Qatar said the latest evolution of its connectivity infrastructure lays the foundation for enhanced digital experiences for consumers and smarter, more responsive operations for businesses.

Network capabilities and improvements

The 5G+ network builds on the capabilities of 5G standalone, which Ooredoo Qatar was the first to deploy, and on 5G Advanced to support increasingly demanding digital applications. It delivers faster speeds, greater network capacity and lower latency, enabling more devices to connect and exchange information efficiently. Shorter response times also support applications such as real‑time equipment monitoring and automated processes.

Executive statement

HE Chief Executive Officer of Ooredoo Qatar Sheikh Ali bin Jabor bin Mohammad Al‑Thani said, “The launch of the 5G+ network reflects Ooredoo Qatar’s continued investment in Qatar’s digital future, which depends on infrastructure that is ready for what comes next. With the 5G+ network, we are enhancing everyday digital experiences for our consumers, enabling innovation, and strengthening the competitiveness of businesses across the country. From launching the world’s first 5G network in 2018 to deploying Qatar’s first 5G Standalone core network, we have consistently advanced connectivity. This launch marks the next step in that journey, supporting the next generation of digital services across Qatar.”

Strategic context

The launch reinforces Ooredoo Qatar’s commitment to Qatar National Vision 2030 and the Digital Agenda 2030, supporting the country’s digital transformation and strengthening its position as a leading regional digital hub. This supports Qatar’s broader ambition to strengthen its role as a leading digital hub in the region.
