The partnership will include the installation of state of the art high-speed fibre-optic networks for voice calls and data, which will serve as a valuable addition to the infrastructure of the tourism sector in Oman and reflects the company's interest in developing the national economy. This move is in line with Omantel's vision to drive organisational integration between the government and private sectors to promote the telecommunications sector in the Sultanate.

Mohammed Ghamloush, Senior Adviser to the COO of Omantel, said, "As part of the Memorandum of Understanding signed between Omantel and Al Raid Group, we will design, install and maintain the latest fibre optic and data networks as well as voice services in the project. After the installation of the necessary infrastructure, the services provided will include voice services and data services for the fixed and mobile phones, as well as high-speed broadband services and other integrated smart city solutions."

Arab Engineering Bureau (AEB - ASSAF), the General Consultant for the project said, "Omantel is the trusted- partner to provide a more reliable network. The choice is a result of our keenness to provide the best communication experience to investors and add real value to the visitors at the centre and its parks and recreational facilities.
