Qatar Telecom (Qtel) Group will demonstrate its growth in new services and products, highlighting a new range of innovations being developed by the group at an ongoing global mobile event in Spain.

Mobile World Congress, which gathers leaders in the mobile technology and cell phone market, opened today (February 15) in Barcelona and will run until February 18.

Organized by the GSMA association, the Mobile World Congress gathers around 1,300 companies and 47,000 mobile professionals from 182 countries every year, a statement said.

The Qtel Group is using its presence at the Congress to showcase a range of new innovations which the company believes will have a significant impact on its customers and the markets it serves.

“The Qtel Group has evolved significantly into a major regional provider in recent years, and the scope of our operations in 17 countries has provided us with significant market knowledge and customer understanding,” said Dr Nasser Marafih, CEO, the Qtel Group.

“Because of this, we are able to respond to the strong demand in Middle Eastern, North African and Asian markets for a host of value-added services, by launching value-driven innovations,” he added.

Dr Nasser continued: “The mobile market is changing rapidly, driven by the increased capacity offered by improved Broadband technology and by the growing demand from customers, particularly from younger consumers.”
