MUSCAT -- Oman Telecommunications Company (Omantel) has recently introduced wireless fixed-phone lines service known as Wireless Local Loop (WLL) in 11 new rural villages in the Sultanate. This is part of Omantel's keenness to connect all regions in order to expand the infrastructure of telecommunications in the Sultanate.
The new service covers the village of Al Sifa in Muscat; the villages of Burzaman, Al Aflaj, Al Oyoun, Al Khatm and Al Hail in Ibra; the villages of Dema and Al Taieen, Mas Al Harah, Dabrah/Al Qafsah and Al Qutaifi (Ouf) in the wilayat of Dema and Al Taieen and the villages of Asilah and Al Jawabi in the wilayat Jalan Bani Bu Ali in the Al Sharqiyah region. More than 1,500 subscribers will benefit from fixed line service for the first time in Al Sifah village in Muscat and in some other villages in Ibra, Sur and Dema and Al Taieen in the Sharqiyah region.
The wireless fixed-telephone line service is not different from the currently utilised systems. It will provide all advantages and features of any fixed line connected through copper cables as subscribers can easily make international calls and navigate the internet. They can also use fax and voice phone, as well as all other features of the normal fixed-phone lines.
Oman Telecommunications Company in May 2006 provided Wireless Local Loop service to nine rural villages in Muscat, Al Batinah and Al Sharqiyah to cover more than 2,500 subscribers. It also connected several villages in Dhofar in March 2006.
