Overview

The 5G experience is here

Finally, it’s here. Customers will soon experience 5G network speeds for the very first time, as Ooredoo rolls out superfast mobile streaming worldwide. 5G is the future of wireless technology.

It’s about 100 times faster than 4G. It offers ultra-low latency, which will dramatically improve wireless video, video games, and VR. 5G internet has a greater capacity to meet the growing demand for digital content and services over mobile networks like Ooredoo mobile broadband.

 

Ooredoo made history when it became the first operator in the world to launch a live 5G network in May 2018. Ooredoo Qatar offers customers a choice of Ooredoo Qatar mobile internet plans at 5G speeds.

Ooredoo has been gearing up to test this new generation of 5G wireless technology since 2014. And, over the next few months, it plans to reach more world-first milestones by testing 5G mobile and networks through user trials and commercial launches across Ooredoo Opcos around the world.

 

Focused on a smarter future.

5G technology is focused on a smarter future. It is designed around the smartphones of tomorrow to include a latency below 5 ms, mobility of up to 500 km/h, and three times more spectrum efficiency.

5G average user data rates will be:

Connection density of millions of devices/m²
Will have a 20 Gbits/s peak data rate
100 times more power efficient
Greater than 100 Mbps
