Doha: Ooredoo’s Terrestrial Trunked Radio (TETRA) network has grown into one of the largest commercially-available networks of its kind with more than 290 business customers and 27,000 users.
TETRA services are providing businesses in Qatar with reliable communications and professional mobile radio applications, the company said in a statement yesterday.
Besides enabling one-to-one, one-to-many, and many-to-many communications, TETRA network also allows businesses to subscribe to a range of applications, including computer-aided dispatcher systems, voice recording and automatic vehicle location.
Ooredoo is revamping TETRA services to make them more accessible for small and medium businesses. It has reduced the monthly subscription fee for TETRA services from QR99 to QR90, to offer more value for existing customers, and to introduce a new range of companies to the business advantages offered by TETRA. In addition to TETRA-compatible applications, the services include a full portfolio of communications services, including group, individual and broadcast calls; an extensive range of compatible handsets available from a range of vendors; and a fully-supported operations and maintenance service, with a 24-hour helpline. The TETRA service has been in operation since 2005, offering secure communications channels and full redundancy in terms of base station coverage.
