In addition to participating in several panel discussions with the domain experts of wholesale business in the region, Omantel had also inaugurated the event with a welcome speech, “At Omantel, we believe in enabling global Cloud and Content with low-latency networking. We combine our geographic advantages with strategic subsea cable investments to offer our wholesale clients and partners across the ecosystem the ability to deliver a differentiated experience and hence, reach further,” stated Eng. Baha Al Lawati, General Manager of Omantel’s Carrier & Roaming Services during the opening speech.
He further elaborated, “Together with Equinix, the largest developers of data centres in the world, we are building the first world-class carrier-neutral data centre in Oman that doubles-down on our belief in supporting global Cloud and Content.”
