Overcoming 5G Expansion Challenges in MENA

This collaboration aims to address key challenges in 5G expansion that traditional infrastructure solutions face, particularly in extending coverage to hard-to-reach areas such as remote locations, large indoor spaces, and urban areas with signal congestion.

Airgain's Lighthouse

Omantel states that its partnership with Airgain addresses these challenges through Airgain's Lighthouse, a smart network repeater. The repeater amplifies and extends 5G signals, ensuring connectivity in areas where coverage is traditionally weak or unavailable for both residential and commercial users.

New Approach to Network Infrastructure

Unlike conventional vendor-operator partnerships, Omantel and Airgain are collaborating on research, development, and innovation to create energy-efficient solutions specifically designed to meet the needs of the MENA region.
