This accolade distinguishes Ooredoo as the sole telecommunications company within its operational footprint to be featured in the report.
Transforma Insights emphasises Ooredoo’s significant strides in the IoT sector, highlighting that the company manages 5mn IoT connections across its footprint, with a large base in the GCC and South-East Asia.
The report underscores Ooredoo’s robust IoT infrastructure, which includes deployments of NB-IoT in Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, Tunisia and Indonesia, and LTE-M in Qatar.
Ooredoo’s advancements in the IoT landscape present significant growth opportunities and suggest a promising potential for revenue growth and market expansion. This recognition positions the company as a preferred partner for reputed international customers, including manufacturers of connected devices and vehicles, creating opportunities for global Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) seeking reliable partnerships within Ooredoo’s footprint.
Najib Khan, Group Chief Business Services Officer, Ooredoo, said: “Our strategic investments in IoT and 5G technologies are creating new business opportunities and reinforcing our position as a key partner for digital transformation in the region. We are honoured to be recognised by Transforma Insights as a leading player in the IoT sector. This acknowledgment is a testament to our commitment to innovation and excellence in providing top-tier IoT solutions.”
According to the Transforma Insights report, Ooredoo’s membership in the IoT World Alliance, which began in August 2023, has already led to several significant deals supporting IoT connections within its footprint. This collaboration enhances Ooredoo’s capability to provide localised connectivity solutions, a critical advantage given the increasing regulatory limitations on permanent roaming across many countries in the region.
The report also highlights Ooredoo’s efforts in developing vertical solutions for various industries. These include a focus on sectors such as oil and gas, ports, and airports, where Ooredoo has proactively positioned its IoT solutions through strategic partnerships with leading technology providers.
