Announced during the COMEX Technology Show at the Oman Exhibition and Convention Centre, the award recognised the facility's success in advancing Ooredoo's own operations, while propelling Oman's digital transformation, broadening internet accessibility and strengthening digital communications across the country.

Dr. Ahmed Abdullah Al-Abri, Chief Technology and Information Officer at Ooredoo, said "We opened our latest facility in Bousher in 2021, which ranks as a Tier 3 Plus data centre in Oman. It represents a major breakthrough in hosting and data processing, and has set the foundations for the development of transformative technologies such as 5G, cloud services, IoT, and other high-potential, high-growth areas."
