Ooredoo to debut LTE commercially in April

Ooredoo (formerly Qtel) says that it will be the first network operator in the country to offer commercial LTE services, when it launches next month.

For the past several months, hundreds of Ooredoo customers have been testing the network prior to its commercial launch.

Ooredoo will launch the 4G network starting in Doha, where it has already installed 100 antennas. Ooredoo will roll out the network to the rest of the country in phases.

The LTE service runs on the 800MHz and 2.6 GHz bandwidth frequencies.
