Operator Ooredoo Qatar and tech giant Ericsson say they have further strengthened their partnership with the integration of Ericsson Mediation into Ooredoo Qatar’s network.
Ericsson Mediation ensures that correct and complete data is collected from across mobile, fixed and converged networks with multi-vendor equipment and disparate IT systems and processed quickly and accurately.
With rapid growth in data consumption and increasing demands on 5G infrastructure, Ericsson says that Ericsson Mediation will provide Ooredoo Qatar with advanced features and functionalities to handle the volume, velocity and variety of data.
It extracts real business value from data while offering a future-proof platform that supports evolving data interfaces and attributes. This, says Ericsson, accelerates the development of data pipelines, enabling faster time-to-market for new services.
Cloud-native by design, Ericsson Mediation enables Ooredoo Qatar to streamline operations, improve resource utilisation, enhance flexibility and ensure compliance with security standards.
This strategic decision, says Ericsson, enables Ooredoo Qatar to harness 5G monetisation, enhance operational efficiency and support an expanding array of digital transformation use cases.
Ericsson adds that it also provides Ooredoo Qatar with a strong foundation for future development of data-driven initiatives in artificial intelligence, machine learning and analytics.
Ooredoo Qatar says that by leveraging the scalability and efficiency of Ericsson’s cloud-native technology it anticipates significant reductions in total cost of ownership (TCO), along with gains in flexibility and agility.
