Ooredoo continues to enhance its data market leadership across its global footprint, with its Ooredoo Maldives operation receiving an Internet Service Provider Licence from the Communication Authority of the Maldives (CAM) earlier this month. With the new licence, Ooredoo Maldives will be able to offer a new range of fixed line services, including business and home Internet, Ooredoo Fibre and Ooredoo Cloud. The company received the licence after a competitive bidding process, which saw Ooredoo come out ahead of national and international competition.
With the introduction of fixed Internet, Ooredoo Maldives aims to secure a leadership position across a full range of communication services. In particular, Ooredoo Maldives will look to expand the range of services available to the business community. Dr. Nasser Marafih, Group CEO, Ooredoo, said: “Across our footprint, Ooredoo continues to enhance the range of communication services available to our customers. Receiving this ISP Licence will enable to bring positive changes to the quality and affordability of the Internet for the people of the Maldives.
The licence was received at the same time as Ooredoo Maldives celebrates ten years of operating in the Maldives. To mark the tenth anniversary, and in gratitude of the support received from their customers during the company’s incredible journey, Ooredoo has today launched an exciting campaign called “Thank You Maldives,” which provides customers with an incredible range of benefits. Supporting the need for innovation, Ooredoo Maldives has deployed ‘Easy Macro’, a small light-weight macro base station that supports high capacity mobile Internet needs and enhances the customer experience across densely populated areas.
