MUSCAT: The Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) approved the Fiber-To-The-Home (FTTH) pilot project in the Sultanate, which involves connecting high-speed Internet to homes in Ma'bailah North and Ma'bailah South, along with other telecom services according to the selection of operators.
This pilot project extends for a period of nine months from the start of the project and implemented by the two licensed operators, Omantel and Nawras.
The aim of this pilot project is to test the technical feasibility of the fiber-optic infrastructure (FTTH), where the government has already allocated a budget for building a fiber-to-the-home network (FTTH) as part of Muscat Wastewater Project implemented by Haya Water Company.
Through piloting the Fiber-To-The-Home (FTTH) project Omantel and Nawras will select users who will try this technology in Ma'bailah North and Ma'bailah South up to a maximum of 400 buildings. The selected users will be provided free high speed internet through fiber optic technology during the trial period to test the service and ensure its stability.
TRA considers this project as one of the most important projects that may contribute to the future increase of the spread of broadband services in the Sultanate.
The participants in this pilot project are expected to send their feedback on their actual experience as it is important to reach accurate findings by the TRA, operators and Haya Water.
