Surging demand for mobile data services has prompted Oman’s two telecoms companies, incumbent Oman Telecommunications (Omantel) and second national operator Nawras, to request lower-frequency spectrum from the country’s telecoms regulator, reports Trade Arabia citing news agency Reuters. Both operators currently utilise 2100MHz spectrum to provide third-generation services, but have entered into talks with the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) on the possibility of acquiring new spectrum in lower frequency ranges. In an emailed statement, the watchdog said it wants to refarm its 800MHz spectrum to the two operators for mobile broadband services
