Qatar has taken a pioneering step in digital transformation by becoming the first Arab country to launch satellite internet services, according to Engineer Nayef Al-Ibrahim, CEO of Ibtechar. This advancement adds a new layer of resilience to Qatar’s already advanced fibre and 5G networks by providing uninterrupted connectivity through space satellites, even during outages.
The move supports Qatar National Vision 2030, emphasizing digital transformation as a cornerstone for a diversified, knowledge-based economy. Satellite internet enhances essential services including education, digital healthcare, and smart government platforms.
Qatar Airways’ adoption of this technology highlights its transformative potential across critical sectors, positioning Qatar as a regional leader in innovative digital solutions.
