Ooredoo Qatar Takes 5G to the Next Level with Nokia
Hold onto your hats, folks—Ooredoo Qatar has just rolled out a cloud‑native core network powered by Nokia, and it’s going to bring a tidal wave of lightning‑fast mobile broadband to its two million users. The switch means smoother rides, faster downloads, and a host of new services that even the coolest tech nerds might envy.
Why the Switch Matters
- Automation is the name of the game – smarter networks mean fewer hiccups for customers.
- New use cases – Industrial IoT (IIoT), Voice over Broadband (VoBB), and Voice over WiFi (VoWiFi) are no longer just buzzwords.
- Scalability, baby! – Nokia’s gear and expertise help Ooredoo expand bandwidth without breaking a sweat.
Built on the Best Stuff
Think of the set‑up as the ultimate gadget bundle: Nokia AirFrame data center hardware, CloudBand Application Manager, CBIS OpenStack Software, Voice and Cloud Packet Core Virtual Network Functions, and Nuage Networks’ SDN solutions. Together, they’re the secret sauce for a rock‑solid 5G core.
Virtual Powerhouses
More than ten virtualized network functions (VNFs) are up and running, handling everything from data to voice to subscriber management and policy control. This means 5G NSA is supported now, with a smooth ride to the full 5G SA rollout later on.
Words from the Leaders
Yousuf Abdulla Al Kubaisi (COO, Ooredoo Qatar) said, “We’re thrilled to hit this milestone with Nokia’s cloud‑native 5G core. The partnership guarantees low latency, super‑fast speeds, and content that keeps our users hooked. This shows we’re truly committed to delivering the latest tech for complete customer satisfaction, solidifying our spot in the global 5G arena.”
And Henrique Vale (VP, Nokia Software, Middle East & Africa) added, “Turning Ooredoo Qatar’s legacy core into a fully cloud‑native 5G powerhouse so quickly underlines our end‑to‑end portfolio strength and our knack for getting things done. The new core will let us serve up innovative use cases and scale 5G commercial services with ease.”

With this upgrade, Ooredoo Qatar is set to offer more than just a handful of services—it’s about turning everyday tech into a full‑blown, reliable, and lightning‑quick experience. Stay tuned, stay connected, and watch as 5G rolls out stronger than ever.
