MUSCAT – Omantel has conducted a seminar that highlights its corporate business solutions to the Oil and Gas sector in the Sultanate of Oman, one of its fastest growing and most innovative areas of business.

Representatives from leading oil and gas companies across Oman attended the seminar that outlined the comprehensive range of specialized solutions that have been developed by Omantel’s Corporate Business Unit to ensure companies stay connected and get closer together both inside and outside Oman.

The broad ranging and highly flexible fixed, mobile and internet solutions are ideal for the oil and gas sector in Oman as they have very specific requirements in terms of both their fixed and mobile connectivity.

Often these companies work in very remote areas where there is little or no infrastructure which makes it more challenging for Omantel to utilize its comprehensive range of solutions to meet very specific needs and requirements.

Omantel solutions allow head offices in Muscat for example to connect directly to oil rigs and other installations in highly remote locations ensuring business efficiency for the customer and connectivity for effective business operations.

Omantel’s Vice President for the Corporate Business Unit, Adil Al Raisi, welcomed the delegates at the seminar and outlined the importance of the oil and gas sector both to the broader Omani economy and as a growing part of Omantel’s own corporate business growth.

Speaking at the seminar, Mr. Al Raisi said:  “The Oil and Gas sector is one of the strongest sectors in Oman, contributing the most towards the success of the economy.  It is a sector we know and understand well and invested considerable time and effort in offering companies in this sector tailored solutions to their fixed and mobile communication requirements.

“We have a comprehensive range of technical and commercial offerings that have been very successful with companies operating in this sector who need solutions when operating in some of the most challenging physical environments in the Sultanate.”

Delegates at the seminar were given presentations on Fixed Connectivity Solutions, Internet Solutions and Mobile Solutions offered by Omantel and had the opportunity to meet and connect with Omantel’s specialist Oil and Gas team who were present.

Omantel with its wide infrastructure and resources provides a wide range of choices when it comes to connectivity, be it mobile or fixed.
