Ooredoo has announced the launch of its new Managed Router Service Extension, which has been designed for small businesses in Qatar that need to be able to network their branches cost-effectively.

In addition to enhanced networking capability, the Managed Router Service Extension solution comes with a device that has a built-in full-fledged firewall.
This means that customers can connect their various sites cost-effectively using any existing Internet connection (Mobile Broadband, Business Fibre, among others) and can also secure their data behind a sentry that uses Unified Threat Management (UTM) to automatically update its catalogue of known cyber threats.
Talking about the service, Yousuf al-Kubaisi, COO of Ooredoo Qatar, said: “Our new service enables Qatar’s businesses to offload the task of managing their networks and free their IT staff to focus on revenue-generating initiatives.”
“With this service in place, we can ensure their business networks remain up and running 24/7. We are investing heavily in the latest technology to connect and secure our country’s businesses and this extension service is the latest in 2016, as we push forward to become Qatar’s leading ICT provider.”
Other benefits of the extension include WAN connectivity optimisation to prioritise bandwidth allocation for selected applications, an Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) and more.
