Marking a major new milestone in its digital leadership and transformation, Ooredoo has partnered with Dahua Technology, a specialist in smart IoT solutions, and Starlink, one of the outsource-managed services providers.
The partnership will be focused on delivering some of the key objectives of Oman’s 2040 Vision; connecting society through many ICT services, e.g. CCTV and IoT; assisting in large-scale infrastructure mega projects and smart cities to support economic development; and enhancing government performance with monitoring and support services that can help with traffic congestion, monitoring wildlife, tracking waste streams and boosting sales at retail outlets. To mark the occasion, over 250 people from across the ICT sector, including government officials, attended a ceremony at W Muscat.
