Ooredoo Teams up with Barakat Al Harthy to Showcase Oman’s Fastest Network

Mobilk - Empowering the youth through sports, and in line with being awarded Oman’s fastest mobile network by Ookla, Ooredoo have partnered with Barakat Al Harthy; Oman’s fastest sprinter and sports icon. Al Harthy has competed in a number of international world athletics championship events and in 2018, he became the first Omani ever to break the 10 second 100m barrier. He will now be the face of the company’s exciting new campaign and video; ‘Do you know what it takes to be a winner?’, which will be launched on 1 November 2018 on a number of online platforms and in VOX Cinemas countrywide.

Ian Dench, Chief Executive Officer at Ooredoo said, “We are incredibly excited about having Barakat Al Harthy join us in promoting achievement through sports as well as highlighting our own achievements with network enhancements. Our upgraded network, as recognised by Ookla, as well as our ongoing focus on youth empowerment through sports and teamwork, means that there has never been a better or more exciting time to join Ooredoo.”

An exemplification of both speed and excellence, Al Harthy showcases exactly what Ooredoo’s network represents. With Ooredoo’s ‘supernet’ everyone can enjoy the internet with incredible speeds.

Keeping people connected without any interruption, Ooredoo’s ‘supernet’ was awarded the Speedtest® Award by Ookla, the global leader in internet testing and analysis. The award follows Ooredoo’s 4G expansion, to now cover 95% of the Sultanate’s population with fast, uninterrupted internet.
