Omantel has formed a multi-year strategic partnership with Airgain Inc. to redefine 5G connectivity across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.
Omantel’s partnership with Airgain addresses 5G infrastructure challenges through Airgain’s Lighthouse™, a groundbreaking smart network repeater. This advanced solution amplifies and extends 5G signals, ensuring consistent, high-speed connectivity in areas where coverage is traditionally weak or unavailable.
For example, homeowners can enjoy uninterrupted streaming across every corner of their homes, while businesses in sprawling office complexes or remote industrial zones can maintain reliable connections to power operations and applications.
"We look forward to our collaboration with Airgain as part of our commitment to advancing innovation in the telecommunications and technology sectors," said Talal Said Al Mamari, CEO of Omantel. "Airgain's solutions will enhance 5G performance across various environments with scalable, energy-efficient connectivity and unmatched speeds. By complementing our existing infrastructure, the Lighthouse™ solution will ensure comprehensive coverage indoors and outdoors, accelerating 5G deployment and reinforcing Omantel’s position as a trusted provider of transformative communication solutions."
