Nawras re-farms 900MHz spectrum for 3G services

Nawras has increased its 3G network capacity by re-farming some of its 900MHz spectrum for 3G services. This is the third block of spectrum being used for 3G services by the mobile network operator.

Nawras is beginning the second stage of its network upgrade programme that will see the replacement of every single base station in the country with the addition of 3G+. By the end of 2014 the company plans to deliver faster 3G+ to more than 97 per cent of the population.

At the same time, 4G broadband is being rolled out. Currently Nawras offers contiguous 4G coverage of greater Muscat.
