Over 2000 residential units, 100,000 sqm of retail and 200,000 sqm of
commercial accommodation as well as a world class hotel are being developed and
completed in phases in Al Wa’ab City, the city within the city of Doha.
To service this residential and business hub a number of dedicated GSM sites
for mobile services, high-level fibre connections for Broadband and fixed line
services will be installed, as well as innovative in-building solutions for the
different elements of the project.

City is a must and will add value to the development; improving the quality of
life for residents and enhancing operations for businesses alike,” said Sheikha
Hanadi Nasser Bin Khaled Al Thani CEO of Al Wa’ab City Management.
The phased approach to development, where the network infrastructure is
designed and implemented in parallel with specific in-building communication
services, is a unique approach within Qatar.
