Nawras launches fixed line service

Omani operator Nawras announced the launch of its fixed services for business customers. With a wide portfolio of broadband Internet, voice and data products, Nawras’ new fixed services are suitable for businesses of any size, and offer the first alternative to Omantel’s fixed-line services.

“Over the last five years Nawras has built a solid reputation for offering mobile services of excellent quality and reliability,” said Nawras CEO Ross Cormack. “We are excited to be adding to this rewarding experience through the launch of our new fixed services.”

Nawras is introducing the first non-geographical numbering to enable a business to keep the same fixed Nawras numbers even after relocating, while the use of SIP Trunks is another Nawras innovation that gives customers access to significantly more voice channels than currently being offered through legacy systems. In addition, Nawras Leased Line gives customers the chance to access Nawras connectivity without replacing their current equipment.

Spanning most of the country, three fibre-optic cable rings make up the backbone network for the new fixed services. Major corporations will be served with their own fibre connection, offering a secure communication provision with excellent quality. WiMAX base stations will further connect the sultanate, delivering a same-day, Plug ‘n’ Play wireless Internet link to almost all other small and medium size businesses.
