Nokia and Ooredoo Oman transform the nation’s connectivity
Nokia has announced its partnership with Ooredoo Oman to deploy a state-of-the-art Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) wholesale network. This project will meet the evolving needs of hyperscalers’ data centers, AI-driven applications, and cloud-based platforms while establishing Oman as a key connectivity hub between the Indian Ocean, the Gulf and Europe.
This new nationwide network, powered by Nokia’s flagship 1830 Photonic Service Switch (PSS) will deliver trusted performance using WDM transmission across C + L bands, and simplify network operations and accelerate service delivery using the WaveSuite optical automation software. The new network will ensure low-latency connectivity for hyperscalers and wholesale customers while enabling seamless traffic flow to global destinations. The commercial launch of network services is slated for March 2025.
“At Ooredoo, our vision is to enrich people’s digital lives, and to meet the growing demand for connectivity across the Sultanate. To achieve this, we will continue our network investment and planned network enhancements through this strategic partnership with Nokia, thus further strengthening Oman’s position within the region as major telecommunications hub. This project will cater to both national and international demand, driving growth and innovation across Oman.”
