Ooredoo Group in 5G AI deal

Ooredoo Group announced today at Mobile World Congress 2019 that it is accelerating its 5G network transformation across the Middle East, North Africa, and South East Asia with Artificial Intelligence solutions from P.I. Works.

Following the successful deployment of P.I. Works’ Centralised Self-Organising Network (C-SON) solutions in Indonesia and Myanmar, which delivered strong results in optimising network efficiency and costs in a short amount of time, Ooredoo Group has rolled out the technology across all operations.

With the roll-out, hundreds of millions of Ooredoo customers in the company’s operations in Middle East, North Africa, and South East Asia are now experiencing significantly enhanced network coverage and connectivity, more advanced mobile apps, enhanced capacity during mega-events, and the enablement of 5G-based Internet of Things innovations.

In Qatar specifically Ooredoo Group worked with P.I. Works to automate its live 5G network, a development that will help 4G and 5G technologies work together in harmony. This ensures that Ooredoo can deploy 5G throughout the country to facilitate new experiences.

“Thanks to our partnership with artificial intelligence leader, P.I. Works, our customers around the world will enjoy superior digital experiences. It is especially exciting that this network transformation accelerates 5G roll-out across our operations, spurring our operating companies’ digital transformation, supporting our vision of enriching people’s digital lives and enabling our customers to more fully enjoy the internet,” remarked Sheikh Saud Bin Nasser Al Thani, Group Chief Executive Officer, Ooredoo.
