With download speeds up to 21Mbps it is possible to support video, graphic and other high-speed applications across any mobile broadband handset or device.
The new ‘My-Fi’ device from Qtel will also give access to the personal mobile hotspot for five people at any time using laptops, smart phones, gaming consoles or any other Wi-Fi enabled machine. Additionally, ‘My-Fi’ has a battery life of up to five hours.
Qtel also recently announced the launch of a major new Long-Term Evolution (LTE) programme, which will deliver the fastest and largest 4G network in Qatar, to support the national plan to boost the knowledge-based economy.
