Qtel launches LTE trial ahead of end-year launch

Qatar Telecom (Qtel) has announced the launch of a trial of 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE) mobile broadband services for hundreds of customers in the capital Doha, to gauge user feedback ahead of a planned commercial launch at the end of 2012. The company called the test phase ‘an essential step for ensuring the best possible customer experience,’ and claimed the LTE network will offer ‘the best penetration’ in the Gulf region, and will on average offer speeds that are three-to-six times faster than 3G. As part of the pre-launch phase, Qtel has installed 100 antennas throughout Doha, including sites in The Pearl, Katara, West Bay, The Corniche and Sealine.
