Omantel named among top wholesale operators at the MVNO World Congress

OMANTEL, the first integrated telecommunication services provider in the Sultanate, has been named among the world’s top wholesale operators at the 2016 Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNO) World Congress hosted by Informa Telecoms & Media. Omantel was highly commended and ranked second in the category of Best Wholesale Operator behind UK provider EE (part of British Telecom Group) at the awards ceremony held in Amsterdam, Holland on April 13, 2016. The recognition is the most recent addition to the growing number of awards and accolades received by Omantel within the global telecommunications wholesale arena.

Commenting on the achievement, Yasser Redha Said al Lawati, ( pictured) Senior Manager of National Accounts & Interconnection Department of the Wholesale Business Unit at Omantel stated, “We are indeed honoured to continue to be globally recognized as one of the top wholesale operators. In addition to being an acknowledgement from the MVNO global community of Omantel’s leading role in this important area of the telecom sector, this is also a recognition of our successful strategy in partnering with our MVNOs and developing this business stream together. Today, the market share of Omantel MVNOs is around 16 per cent, which is the highest MVNO market share outside Europe and among the top 5 worldwide according to recent international reports. This reflects the significance of our MVNO partners in the highly competitive market of Oman. We take this opportunity to thank our MVNO partners who played a major role in achieving this important milestone.”
