After five years of remarkable success in the mobile industry, Nawrasa Qtel Group company—was proud to open its doors this past week to customers across the Sultanate with the historic launch of its new broadband internet and voice packages, marking the company’s transformation into a full service provider and offering residential customers a choice in fixed telecom services for the very first time.
 
Over 10,000 enthusiastic customers inquired about the new services with hundreds of visitors heading to Nawras Stores during the first week of sales, including many pre-registered customers, who were excited to pick up their new home broadband modems and enjoy the plug and play simplicity of Nawras’ latest innovations in the market. To celebrate the occasion, Nawras is even offering customers an incredible 50% discount on many of its new home broadband products.
 

From surfing the web to international phone calls, the Nawras broadband internet and voice packages are supported by the first WiMAX technology network in Oman, increasing by five-fold the number of Omani households with access to broadband services. Nawras coverage maps can be viewed on the company’s website to see exactly what kinds of services are covered within individual towns and villages.

“We are thrilled to be giving even more people the chance to explore a pleasingly different communication experience,” comments Ross Cormack, Nawras CEO. “Nawras has always been committed to giving customers the highest levels of user-friendly technology as a dynamic service provider, and launching this new network marks another remarkable breakthrough in the development of the nation’s infrastructure.”

The massive roll-out of Nawras’ fixed service network—with investments of over RO 100m to date—marks the fulfilment of the company’s First Class Licence for the installation and operation of fixed telecommunications services, granted to Nawras by Royal Decree just one year ago.
