The Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) has initiated field visits to assess key telecom indicators, including social media performance, signal strength and coverage, data speed, and voice service quality.
The field visits will cover centers across all governorates of Oman, as well as five popular tourist destinations, including Al Ashkhara, Harat al Aqr in Nizwa, Jabal Shams, Dhofar, and Muscat Expressway, along with roads such as Sur-Quriyat, Nizwa Ibri, Rub’ al Khali, Haima, Duqm, Adam Thumrait, Bukha, and important locations like Muscat, Suhar, and Duqm airports, as well as the industrial estates of Suhar, Sur Free Zone, and Ibri.
TRA’s team will closely monitor video broadcast speed and quality, access time for key applications, band access time, and video playback performance.
The field visits will also focus on measuring signal strength, including the percentage of 4G and 5G coverage, and evaluating data speeds such as download/upload rates and response times. Additionally, the quality of voice service will be assessed, including sound quality and the percentage of failed calls.
The number of field visits by TRA has significantly increased and is projected to grow by 197% in 2024, reflecting the authority’s commitment to ensuring high-quality telecom services across Oman.
