Qatar CRA Updates Telecom Standards to Strengthen Connectivity and Smart Infrastructure

Doha – The Communications Regulatory Authority (CRA) has introduced an updated version of the In-Building Telecommunications Infrastructure Standards, aiming to deliver faster internet speeds, stronger mobile network coverage, and smarter, future-ready buildings across Qatar.

The revised standards are part of CRA’s strategy to accelerate digital transformation and ensure residents and businesses enjoy world-class telecommunications services. By aligning with international best practices, the updates will guarantee that new buildings are equipped with cutting-edge telecom systems, while older structures can adapt to meet rising digital demands.

According to CRA, this initiative reflects its commitment to building a modern digital environment that supports innovation, strengthens the national economy, and enhances quality of life. The move also directly supports the Qatar National Vision 2030, which prioritizes sustainability, technological progress, and knowledge-driven growth.

By modernizing telecom infrastructure requirements, Qatar aims to boost its competitiveness in the global digital economy and establish itself as a regional leader in smart, connected infrastructure.
