UAE-based du, a major telecom service provider in the Middle East, has partnered with Omantel, Oman’s largest telecom operator, for its award-winning IPTV service platform.

Through this regional first tie up between the operators, Omantel will be able to launch IPTV service in their local market using du’s IPTV platform, thereby reducing their time-to-market and offering their customers a world-class IPTV experience.

Osman Sultan, chief executive officer, du, said: “Our partnership with Omantel marks a significant step for us as we continue in our steadfast growth throughout the region. We are now a regional ICT player, having diversified from pure telecommunications, and we’re expanding our offerings for regional incumbents.”

Talal Said Marhoon Al Mamari, chief executive officer, Omantel, said: “We are pleased to enter into this partnership agreement with du which will enable us to offer our customers state-of-the-art IPTV service. As the owner of Oman’s largest IP network, we believe IPTV provides a unique opportunity to offer our customers unmatched broadcast quality for on-demand entertainment services.” – TradeArabia News Service
