Ooredoo and Huawei yesterday signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to open a next-generation Innovations Lab in Qatar, at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.
The agreement was signed by Ooredoo Qatar chief executive officer Waleed al-Sayed, and Huawei’s rotating CEO Eric Xu.
Based at Ooredoo’s Qatar Data Centre 5, the facility will develop, test and demonstrate a range of next generation IT and communication solutions, including mobile broadband, 5G, digital transformation, Internet of Things solutions, 4K video enhancements among others.
The agreement is the latest in a series of major agreements and initiatives by Ooredoo to bring cutting-edge technology to Qatar, and to boost research and innovation within the country.
Al-Sayed said, “This is an important step forward for Ooredoo, for Qatar, and for our future young technology leaders, creating a research hub within our country that will explore the cutting-edge of network technology. We look forward to working with Huawei to share knowledge and break new ground in network research.”
Eric Xu said, “Advances in network technology are delivering faster speeds and a better online experience, but more than that they are helping to transform our digital lifestyles and supporting the growth of the Internet of Things.”
The MoU outlines the companies’ joint intent to open an advanced facility that will contribute to Qatar’s knowledge-based economy and help train and develop the next generation of technology leaders.
As part of the agreement, Huawei will provide full technical support for Ooredoo’s research in the Innovations Lab, including training courses and supporting knowledge transfer between the two companies.
Huawei and Ooredoo will collaborate on a joint implementation process for new young talent in Qatar, as well as regularly organising technical and management training to deliver sustainable results.
The joint innovations lab will not only be a platform for proof-of-concept projects, but will also demonstrate innovative solutions to relevant partners, enabling them to assess and enhance their business performance.
