ICT Infrastructure

Our nation’s progress requires a communications infrastructure that evolves to meet society’s needs. Without it, we won’t be able to keep pace with growing demand for access to new technologies. By investing in newer equipment and technology, citizens and businesses will have the advantage of wider and faster access to ICT.

Qatar has experienced tremendous growth in broadband capacity over the last year with 63% of households connected to broadband networks with minimum speeds of 1 megabit per second. To expand on this capacity in the future, ictQATAR is developing a strategy that can utilize the best infrastructure possible and a combination of fixed and wireless technologies.

ictQATAR is working in collaboration with other government agencies, telecommunications providers, content providers, property developers and consumers to build a high-speed broadband network in the country. The Qatar National Broadband Network (QNBN) will connect all individuals and businesses to a fiber broadband network by 2015.
