Fiber optic cable is at least 10 times faster than conventional broadband and considered the most reliable and future proof solution for Internet access. Fiber networks, which are capable of providing near-limitless capacity, offer the most future-proof approach to meeting broadband demand over the long term, not only for fixed services, but also for mobile backhaul.
Fiber optic broadband infrastructure will have a dramatic effect on economic and social development in Qatar, opening up a new world of Internet media and information, and deliver better online government, business, health and education services to the nation – all at the speed of light. This will make Qatar the most well-connected country in the GCC.
