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

In Qatar, Ooredoo Qatar has announced the launch of the nation’s first 5G+ mobile network.

The move aligns with broader Gulf efforts to upgrade telecommunications infrastructure.

This step represents the latest evolution of the company’s connectivity infrastructure, laying the groundwork for richer digital experiences for consumers and more agile, responsive operations for businesses.

Technical enhancements and benefits

The 5G+ network builds on the capabilities of the 5G standalone network that Ooredoo Qatar pioneered, and incorporates 5G Advanced features to meet the rising demands of digital applications, delivering higher speeds, greater capacity and lower latency.

These advances allow a larger number of devices to connect and exchange data efficiently, while reduced response times enable uses such as real‑time equipment monitoring and automated processes.

Leadership statement

Chief Executive Officer of Ooredoo Qatar HE 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 alignment

The initiative 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.
