Ooredoo Qatar rolling out fibre-to-the-room

Ooredoo Qatar has announced the upcoming launch of fibre-to-the-room (FTTR) services for residential customers, claiming a national first. The telco stated: ‘With FTTR, customers will be able to connect every single room in their home – even their majlis [sitting/meeting room] – to a superfast fibre cable, resulting in up to ten-times better coverage, a stable speed everywhere at home, zero blind spots, an upgraded quality for videos and gaming and more connected devices at maximum internet speed … Home internet usage now demands higher and consistent speed, as well as lower latency: for working from home, HD+ live broadcast, 8K video streaming, several VR apps and games, smart home devices and more. Against this demanding backdrop, FTTR will upgrade the overall customer experience.’
