A view of the Ooredoo Pavilion.
Ooredoo announced yesterday that it will showcase next-generation solutions and services on its pavilion at the 2017 Mobile World Congress in Barcelona this month, demonstrating the incredible progress the company has made in recent years.
The company is pushing to become a data experience leader across its footprint in the Middle East, North Africa and Southeast Asia. Ooredoo now provides 4G services to eight out of ten of its markets and advanced fixed line services in six operations.
Ooredoo’s enhanced network infrastructure has enabled the company to introduce a range of innovative services and conduct cutting-edge network research, and visitors to its pavilion at the Mobile World Congress will be among the first to see the results of this work.
One of the prime areas of focus will be Ooredoo’s research into 5G technology, which will provide the enhanced speeds and improved latency necessary to deliver next generation mobile technologies.
As part of its participation in Mobile World Congress, Ooredoo will take visitors on a journey from the days of voice and text through to the super-connected era of 4.5G and 5G now made possible by Ooredoo’s advanced Supernet technologies.
Joining next-generation and lifesaving technology together, Ooredoo will also premier its ‘Ooredoo Rescue’ concept. Using pioneering drone technology Ooredoo aims to enable Coast Guards to respond faster and more accurately to emergencies. Ooredoo will also present a broad range of mobile health solutions, including “You Click, We Care”, which brings advance medical monitoring and interaction straight to the home.
With Qatar set to host some of the world’s largest sporting events in the coming years, Ooredoo will include a section on its pavilion covering Smart Sports Venue Management. One of the highlights in this area will be Ooredoo Smart Stadium, a centralised solution for stadium management that controls security, connectivity, identity management, and access control.
In addition, Ooredoo will demonstrate the latest in Content Innovation services, where 2D and 3D coverage of matches can be broadcast to fan zones and directly to people’s homes within a fully-interactive virtual reality ecosystem.
Highlighting its growing cyber security portfolio across its footprint, Ooredoo will also showcase a live demonstration of security solutions available for businesses, to exhibit the real-time capabilities of Ooredoo’s cyber-security technology.
Smart City and Internet of Things (IoT) technology will also be on display, with Indosat Ooredoo showing the benefits of all things ‘digital’ with their comprehensive solutions portfolio from Indonesia.
Ooredoo’s Smart City vision aims to create urban areas that enrich peoples’ everyday lives and enable them to fulfil their aspirations through efficient and sustainable services.
The Mobile World Congress 2017 will be held from February 27 to March 2 at Fira Gran Via in Barcelona, Spain.
