Vodafone, the telecommunications partner for Qatar National Day celebrations at Katara, is laying on a next-level gaming experience as part of its event programme, providing visitors with a range of rich and varied entertainment options.
Running until December 19, Qatar’s gaming fans can get a taste of what 5G will provide by playing their favourite online games powered by the 5G site in a specially dedicated corner of the “Vodafone Village” at Katara. There they will experience superfast, seamless connectivity thanks to the recent deployment of 5G ready sites in Katara in recent days. 5G connectivity will enable gamers to enjoy extremely fast speeds and ultra-low latency, eliminating the lag often experienced in gaming with current technologies.
Multiplayer favourites such as Fortnite or PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds will be available to play at the Vodafone Village, connected to Wi-Fi via 5G and broadcast on digital screens for all to see.
The gaming corner is a key highlight of the “Vodafone Village” which has been carefully designed to provide something for everyone and blends the historical and modern. Other attractions at the village include an augmented reality table demonstrating the capabilities of 5G as well as a digital photo booth. 
These are intertwined with much loved cultural activities such as henna painting, a falcon and trainer, traditional games in the sand area, and classical cars on display – all of which pay homage to the rich cultural elements of Qatari heritage.  Vodafone Qatar is the strategic telecommunications partner of the celebrations at Katara – the Cultural Village. The business’ participation in the event reflects its commitment to facilitating community-wide connections. By bridging the gap between physical and digital, Vodafone aims to provide solutions that can inspire consumers and demonstrate how the latest technologies can enhance their lives.
