Earlier, Ooredoo Qatar became the first global telecom operator to launch 5G services in the capital city of Doha on a commercial basis.
Ooredoo Kuwait CEO Mohammed bin Abdullah Al Thani said: “We are exercising our role as a private sector entity in the New Kuwait Vision 2035, and we aspire to deliver comprehensive telecom services with international standards in Kuwait.”
Ooredoo Kuwait CTO Shaimaa Al-Najdi said the company launched 5G in test sites, which delivers up to 10 Gbps Internet speed.
Shaimaa Al-Najdi said that usage of the technology will depend on the users’ devices and their readiness to connect to this new network.
Ooredoo earlier announced the completion of a network upgrade in more than 1,100 locations across Kuwait, aimed at increasing network capacity. Ooredoo completed the major project in a record time of 5 months, without compromising the services to customers.
Ooredoo has also increased the sites with updated LTE-A bandwidth to better serve the latest and upcoming models of routers and smartphones.
