Vodafone Qatar Connects the First Customer
in the Country to 5G
August 29, 2018
Vodafone Qatar marked the connection of its
first enterprise customer “Gulf Bridge International” (GBI) -to
its 5G network in Qatar Science and Technology Park.
Diego Camberos, Chief Operating Officer at
Vodafone Qatar presented a 5G customer premises equipment (CPE)
to GBI’s management that will provide GBI with broadband access
at speeds that exceed 1Gbps with a user experience that’s
real-time and uninterrupted. 5G connectivity using the CPE, an
equipment which is manufactured on a very limited scale
worldwide, is available where Vodafone Qatar’s 5G network is
deployed.
This follows the Company’s announcement just
yesterday (Monday 27 August 2018) that it switched on its first,
live 5G network at an event that demonstrated the transformative
potential of 5G, thanks to incredible speeds but more
significantly ultra-low latency – meaning a very low delay for
data transmission between two points.
Diego Camberos, Chief Operating Officer at
Vodafone Qatar, said: “We’re delighted that GBI is the first
company to be trialing our 5G network. GBI is one of our most
important partners that has been providing us with international
connectivity for many years, so to play a part in further
enhancing their operations through our 5G network is something
we’re very proud of.”
