DOHA: Qatar National Broadband Network (Qnbn) and malomatia have connected several ministries as part of the Government Network Project, said the company in a press release yesterday.
The project has seen significant progress over just a few months, following the signing of the first government contract with the Ministry of Information and Communications Technology (MICT) in April 2014. A consortium led by malomatia and Qnbn manages the project with the aim of connecting all ministries and government entities over this dedicated and secure communications platform.
Mohammed Al Mannai, Chief Executive Officer at Qnbn said, “The private network will improve data sharing and enhance e-service security capabilities, while setting a common world-class standard in connectivity between all government ministries”.
A state of the art Network Operations Center (NOC) was established as part of the first phase of the project to serve as the nerve center of the Government Network, with many government entities already connected to the NOC. The NOC is managed and operated by malomatia which will be further developed to meet the needs of the full network.
Yousef Al Naama, Chief Executive Officer of malomatia said: “In just a few months the Government Network is already connecting many of the country’s biggest government agencies. This rapid deployment is unprecedented in an industry where quality standards are paramount. We are especially pleased by the quality controls and professionalism demonstrated by all parties involved in making this phase of the project a success”. By connecting ministries through a point-to-point fiber network, ministries will benefit from secure, high-speed communications and dedicated bandwidth to enhance their services. The Peninsula
