Zain first telecom operator globally to launch Vo5G
Kuwait:
Zain, the leading digital service provider in Kuwait, announced the launch of
voice over 5G services, becoming the first telecom operator globally to
commercially launch Vo5G with nationwide coverage in all of Kuwait’s areas and
on the all-new Samsung Galaxy S22 lineup.
This revolutionary technology offers Zain’s customers an unprecedented
experience with ultra-fast internet while making voice calls on compatible
smartphones. The commercial launch of this service comes after Zain has
completed extensive tests to assess the readiness of its network and its
technical capabilities to operate this service at the highest quality on a
nationwide level.
Vo5G is currently available on the all-new Samsung S22 lineup and is activated
for customers without any additional cost. The service will also be available on
all compatible future devices. Voice over 5G offers users a practical solution
with unique technical capabilities, allowing them to enjoy the fastest
telecommunications experience with flexibility and quality. With Vo5G, Zain
customers will be able to make crystal-clear voice calls over the 5G network
side by side with data services without interruption.
In addition, Vo5G allows users to enjoy using the internet, streaming services,
and data-hungry apps while making voice calls with the consistent and ultra-fast
speeds of 5G. The service offers a great solution for users who heavily depend
on data services, as they will not have to end phone calls to get back to the
best internet experience anymore.
The voice over 5G service is hosted on Zain’s state-of-the art standalone 5G
network (SA 5G), which the company deployed earlier this year. SA 5G is widely
considered the future of 5G, allowing Zain’s network to reach its full potential
by increasing coverage and laying a foundation for applications that harness the
fast speed and low latency of 5G. Zain’s 5G development leads the Kuwait telecom
market, and its business success has been a result of its overall strategic
objective to provide first-class 5G services for users in Kuwait.
This announcement reflects Zain’s efforts in presenting Kuwait’s biggest and
most powerful 5G network. Back in June 2019, Zain was the first operator to
offer 5G technology in the GCC region via the Kuwaiti market with nationwide
coverage of all areas. The company succeeded in designing the first integrated
network for 5G services built on a world-class infrastructure, ultimately
transforming the telecom sector across the country and region.
