The Kuwaiti telecommunications company is utilizing FWA to expand the reach of its fiber network to premises that are not connected easily with direct fiber lines. This will help Ooredoo Kuwait to considerably increase its fixed broadband customer base across Kuwait.

Essa Haider – Director of Network Planning and Design at Ooredoo Kuwait said: “Fixed broadband is essential for Kuwait’s economic growth and diversification. 5G Fixed Wireless Access is a key component of our strategy and we’re delighted to be partnering with Nokia to provide better coverage, reach and speed.”
