Vodafone First
To Be Live With 5g Commercially
January 03, 2019
Vodafone Qatar today
received the spectrum license to operate 5G commercially from
the Communications Regulatory Authority (CRA), which replaces
the trial license that allowed the Company to conduct 5G trials
to date.
Vodafone has achieved strong progress in building out its 5G
network, after switching it on in August this year. Vodafone has
rolled out its 5G network in key locations across the country
including Al Waab, Abu Hamour, Al Aziziya, Al Mamoura, Al
Rayyan, Katara Cultural Village, Salwa Road, Souq Waqif and Um
Salal Muhummed.
Commenting on this development, Vodafone Qatar’s CEO, Sheikh
Hamad Abdulla Jassim Al Thani, said: “Today is a momentous day
for Vodafone and Qatar. We are proud to be one of the first
operators in the world to be live with 5G commercially. We thank
the CRA for their support and dedication to ensuring Qatar has a
world class infrastructure that supports the realisation of
Qatar National Vision 2030. We are committed to developing the
digital system and infrastructure that will contribute to
Qatar's continued growth and prosperity in the coming years. We
now look forward to connecting customers to our 5G network to
enhance the quality of people’s lives and to help drive the
economic growth and productivity in Qatar.
