The Cisco-based Ooredoo Supernet solution, that can be accessed by anybody with a compatible device, delivers “incredible Internet speeds and a smooth browsing experience”, according to a press statement.
Full coverage is already live across the island’s three retail hubs -- Porto Arabia, Medina Centrale and Qanat Quartier.
“By facilitating the deployment of Internet access points across the island, UDC takes a step closer in the direction of implementing smart systems on The Pearl, while enhancing the visitor experience and improving communications with key stakeholders,” the statement noted.
Waleed Mohamed Ebrahim al-Sayed, CEO of Ooredoo Qatar, said: “Ooredoo is focused on delivering the best data experience for our customers across Qatar by providing the most-advanced networks and the most convenient access wherever they are. This far-reaching agreement with UDC shows that companies in Qatar are increasingly deploying advanced technology to improve people’s lives, and we’re very proud to be working with UDC on this landmark public Wi-Fi project.”
Ibrahim Jassim al-Othman, UDC president and CEO, said: “Our vision for The Pearl-Qatar is to provide an incredible family-friendly atmosphere for residents and visitors across the island, and superfast, reliable, affordable Internet plays a role in that. When people shop, eat out or arrange to meet friends on The Pearl-Qatar, they can now access the Ooredoo Supernet to choose where they want to go and find out about new events taking place in this exciting community.”
The Wi-Fi solution has been designed to provide a “superior customer experience” for The Pearl-Qatar’s residents and guests, and is the latest in a series of innovations designed to “ensure that the urban development remains one of the most desirable destinations in Qatar”, the statement added.
