Vodafone Qatar selects Nokia as network modernisation partner 

News 

Vodafone Qatar has signed a new deal with Nokia to overhaul its mobile network, aiming to deliver faster, more secure and more flexible 5G services across the country. 

Under the agreement, Nokia will provide end-to-end kit to boost network capacity, cut latency, and speed up the rollout of new features. The upgrade will also introduce more automation and improved security, Vodafone said. 

Qatar’s ICT sector is expected to grow 8.5% annually through to 2030, and Vodafone confirmed that the move will help it keep pace with rising demand for high-speed connectivity. 

The partnership will also pave the way for next-generation services such as 5G slicing for enterprise, and more intelligent broadband access, with a future-proof infrastructure built to support ongoing digital innovation. 

“Our work with Nokia will enable us to become more agile and responsive to the evolving needs of customers and businesses. By integrating advanced fibre, mobile, and cloud capabilities, we are shaping a smarter, more secure network that can support everything from customised home Wi-Fi to the latest enterprise technologies,” said Sheikh Hamad Abdulla Jassim Al-Thani, CEO of Vodafone Qatar, in a press release. 

“Through more flexible scaling, reliability, and near zero-touch automation that our advanced core and broadband solutions deliver, Nokia will provide greater network agility and service offerings, and provide our partner with all the tools it needs to efficiently manage its network assets,” echoed Raghav Sahgal, President of Cloud and Network Services at Nokia.
