The Communications Regulatory Authority (CRA) has announced its participation in the Mobile World Congress, which begins today and continues until February 25 in Barcelona, Spain.
The CRA delegation will be headed by Mohamed Ali al-Mannai, president of CRA.
The Mobile World Congress, organised by the GSM Association, is the world’s largest gathering for the mobile industry with more than 95,000 attendees and 2,000 exhibitors expected this year, among which are Qatari service providers.
The CRA president is attending the Mobile World Congress as part of the event’s ministerial programme.
Aside from an exhibition, the Mobile World Congress Conference examines the current and future of the mobile industry, highlighting specific areas of growth as well as the latest technological developments, next generation of services and growth strategies. Among the high-profile conference keynote speakers are the CEOs of AT&T Mobile, China Mobile, Ericsson, Facebook and Intel Corporation.
As Qatar’s communications regulator, CRA’s mandate includes fostering a thriving communications sector, of which the mobile industry forms a large part. CRA works with both mobile operators and consumers to raise industry standards and improve mobile services, with the ultimate goal of contributing towards Qatar’s development into a smart, digitally connected nation, according to a statement.
With the Mobile World Congress attracting the most senior professionals and thought leaders in the mobile industry, CRA is actively participating in the event to keep abreast of the latest mobile trends and developments to enable CRA to deliver on its mandate and ensure that Qatar has competitive, effective and innovative mobile services for the benefit of all consumers in Qatar, the statement notes.
Among other highlights of interest to CRA is Ooredoo’s demonstration of 5G technology at the event.
