Building on a series of successful milestones since switching on its first live 5G network in August last year, Vodafone Qatar announced yesterday that it was providing QIB with access to its state-of-the-art GigaNet 5G network. 
Vodafone and QIB’s partnership began in 2014 and has grown over the years. Having provided the country’s largest Islamic bank with solutions such as mobile and fixed services as well as bulk SMS services, Vodafone aims to help businesses succeed in a digital world. 
Building on the successful partnership, Vodafone’s 5G deployment at QIB included a landmark video conference session between QIB’s Fanar office, and its headquarters in Bank Street, which took place with a flawless connection demonstrating the low latency benefits and high speed of 5G. 
Mahday al-Hebabi, director (Business Sales) at Vodafone Qatar said, “Vodafone is committed to supporting the country’s businesses with high-tech solutions, thus contributing to creating a strong business sector in line with the Qatar National Vision 2030. We are extremely proud to build on our on-going collaboration with QIB and provide it with our 5G network. The innovative technology will enhance the bank’s productivity and improve customer service.” QIB has made significant progress, ushering in a new age of banking by adapting innovative technologies and deploying digital initiatives. 
And now, QIB has adopted Vodafone’s 5G over Wi-Fi solution for internal use. From banking to real estate, Vodafone Qatar has been working on creating a strong digital ecosystem by providing key businesses in the country with its world-class solutions.
