DOHA: Ooredoo announced yesterday the company has seen a huge demand for its new Netgear Orbi Wi-Fi. The new Netgear Orbi device, which was launched early in 2018, has been purchased by the majority of Ooredoo customers subscribing to the company’s new Fibre Home Broadband plans and has received rave reviews from customers.
With the Netgear Orbi device, Ooredoo customers can take advantage of a first-in-the-region MESH Wi-Fi system, which has been designed to provide high-bandwidth and Wi-Fi coverage throughout every corner of a home.
Talking about the demand, Manar Khalifa Al Muraikhi, Director of PR and Corporate Communications, Ooredoo, said: “For customers with a large home that traditionally would have low Wi-Fi coverage, Orbi offers a simple one-stop solution. Orbi is also perfect for customers who need to be able to connect up to 20 users, whilst still keeping Supernet speeds”.
“So far, feedback from customers has been extremely positive in terms of performance, coverage within the home, ease of installation and use of the Netgear application,” added Manar Khalifa Al Muraikhi.
Orbi device uses can take advantage of the Netgear user-friendly Orbi phone application that helps with the installation and configuration process for customers. The Orbi phone application also allows users to have control over the service by viewing devices connected and edit Wi-Fi settings for optimum security. The Orbi device comes in a dual pack (a router unit and a satellite unit) and has been designed to be the ideal service for large villas, especially where residents are using Ooredoo tv services, streaming films or music, and gaming.
Orbi is the fastest Wi-Fi system on the market and has the ability to provide speeds of up to 1,266 Mbps, cover up to a 5,000-sqft space, and connect more than 20 devices at once.
The Orbi Tri-band Wi-Fi MESH service by Netgear is available now in Ooredoo Shops. Ooredoo has announced it will offer the service on monthly payment plans of 12 or 24 months for all new Fibre Home plans. The Ooredoo Fibre network is available across Qatar, with more than 260,000 homes and businesses currently benefiting from super-fast internet and next-generation services.
