The Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA), represented by the Quality Service Department, conducted a field survey to measure the performance of mobile telecommunications networks of Omantel and Ooredoo at Muscat Festival venues, Naseem Gardens and Amerat Park.
The survey was held in conjunction with festival events and aimed to measure the high quality of service provided by the operators in view of the high number of users visiting the festival, stated a press release.
The network performance was measured using an automated system to monitor ‘Quality of service (QoS) and Internet speed’, which is a standard tool used globally to measure Key Performance Indicator (KPI) of mobile telecommunications QoS and all the data related to signal strength and coverage of mobile networks using G2, G3 or G4.
TRA periodically conducts field surveys of the operators’ transmission stations in the various regions of Oman and generates reports to the operators. These surveys are done to check if there is any inconsistency with the international quality of service standards.
