www.ookla.comI don’t have live tool access right now to fetch the very latest updates. Based on the most recent publicly discussed developments, here’s what’s been moving in Oman’s global network expansion recently:
Subsea and regional connectivity: Oman has been positioning itself as a digital gateway by expanding subsea cable reach and landing stations, linking Oman with Europe, Asia, and Africa to boost low-latency international connectivity. This includes efforts to land major cables and host international content in regional data centers.
Oman Emirates Gateway and regional hubs: The Oman Emirates Gateway (OEG) project between the UAE and Oman has been cited as a notable step in strengthening cross-border connectivity, with connections to major datacenters in Dubai and Oman. This aligns with a broader push to create a digital hub around Muscat and Salalah.
Wholesale ecosystem and acceleration strategies: Industry coverage has highlighted Omantel’s wholesale ecosystem expansion, including collaborations with global partners (carriers, hyperscalers) and the formation of joint ventures to extend international reach, reinforcing Oman’s role as a digital exchange hub.
Infrastructure resilience and 5G/digital economy: Independent assessments note progress in 5G deployment and resilience of networks to disruptions, underlining Oman’s ongoing build-out of fiber and wireless infrastructure to support digital economy growth.
