Ooredoo has announced that it will showcase next-generation solutions and services in its pavilion at the 2017 Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.
This will allow the company to demonstrate the progress it has made in recent years, according to a press statement from Ooredoo.
The event takes place from today until March 2.
Sheikh Saud bin Nasser al-Thani, Group CEO, Ooredoo Group, said: “Ooredoo is a data experience leader and this event enables us to show the incredible progress we have made and the benefits we are delivering for our customers.”
One of the prime areas of focus will be Ooredoo’s research into 5G technology, which will provide the enhanced speeds and improved latency necessary to deliver next-generation mobile technologies, the statement notes.
Ooredoo will take visitors on a journey from the days of voice and text through to the super-connected era of 4.5G and 5G now made possible by Ooredoo’s advanced Supernet technologies. Using a special video demonstration of 5G-enabled robotics, Ooredoo will show the faster and smoother performance of Ooredoo 5G and the potential for Internet of Things applications, with the reduced latency and high-speed network enabling real-time communication between machines.
Bringing next-generation and lifesaving technology together, Ooredoo will also premiere its Ooredoo Rescue concept. Using pioneering drone technology, Ooredoo aims to enable the Coast Guard to respond faster and more accurately to emergencies by providing a live video feed of the situation remotely and deploying an emergency raft via the drone.
Ooredoo will also present a broad range of mobile health solutions, including “You Click, We Care”, which brings advance medical monitoring and interaction straight to the home. With Qatar set to host some of the world’s largest sporting events in the coming years, Ooredoo will include a section in its pavilion covering Smart Sports Venue Management. One of the highlights will be the Ooredoo Smart Stadium.
In addition, the company will demonstrate the latest in Content Innovation services, where 2D and 3D coverage of matches can be broadcast to fan zones and directly to people’s homes within a fully-interactive virtual reality ecosystem.
Further, Ooredoo will showcase a live demonstration of security solutions available for businesses in order to exhibit the real-time capabilities of Ooredoo’s cyber-security technology.
