Omantel plans makeover into Oman's flagship national tech powerhouse
MUSCAT: Omantel, the majority state-owned integrated telecommunications provider in Oman, has unveiled plans for a major rebranding of its corporate identity with the goal of remaking itself as the country's premier technology powerhouse. The publicly traded telco, with a market capitalisation of just under $2 billion, currently offers services across fixed-line, mobile, Internet, ICT and data-centre solutions both domestically and regionally. Through strategic partnerships and joint ventures, the Group also has a substantial presence across the Middle East and North Africa, with connectivity extending worldwide via its investments in a raft of submarine cables. Announcing its imminent corporate makeover strategy, the company said: 'In the first half of 2025, the region's telecommunications sector experienced strong continued momentum in its shift towards smart solutions and emerging technologies, fuelled by growing demand for integrated connectivity solutions, cloud computing, and AI-driven services. Amid intensifying competition and a regional drive to diversify business models, Omantel Group continued to take bold strategic steps to reinforce its position as a leading player in this evolving landscape, both in Oman and across the region,' it stated in the Chairman's Report for H1 2025. 'Building on this momentum, the Group is laying the groundwork for a flagship national technology powerhouse, soon to be unveiled with a refreshed corporate identity. The new entity will bring together Oman's ICT strengths under one umbrella, spearhead major digital initiatives, attract leading global partners, and position Oman as a vibrant regional hub for innovation and next-generation technologies,' it further added. According to Omantel, the journey to become a flagship national technology powerhouse is built on deep infrastructure, expanded digital services, strategic global alliances, and homegrown innovation capacity. Together, these strengths position Oman as a regional hub for AI, cloud, Industry 4.0, and smart city development — fully aligned with the ambitions of Oman Vision 2040. At the heart of this expansive infrastructure is the nationwide rollout of 5G and near-universal fibre-to-the-home coverage, which now serves as the backbone of Oman's digital economy. With next-generation innovations such as the region's first 50GPON trials, these networks are creating the capacity required for AI-driven platforms, Industry 4.0 applications, and the digital services that will define Oman's future economy. At the same time, with more than 20 subsea cable investments and landing stations strategically positioned in Barka and Muscat, Omantel is transforming Oman into a regional Internet and data transit hub. By hosting hyperscaler partners like Google and Meta, Oman reduces dependency on neighbouring hubs and attracts foreign investment, leveraging its geography to become a true digital crossroads between Europe, Asia, and Africa. These facilities not only support government digitisation but also enable enterprises to adopt hybrid cloud, e-services, and advanced hosting — strengthening the resilience and competitiveness of the national economy. Moving beyond connectivity, Omantel says it is delivering managed services, IoT platforms, and AI-driven analytics in partnership with leading technology providers. Furthermore, through its enterprise Security Operations Center and government cybersecurity engagements, the company is embedding resilience into Oman's digital landscape. Additionally, Omantel is also piloting smart lighting, transport, and connected utility solutions with government partners including the Ministry of Transport, Communications and Information Technology. These initiatives place the company at the core of Oman's urban transformation, embedding AI and IoT in public services to enhance quality of life and economic efficiency.

SMART FARMING TRANSFORMS OMAN
Oman's agricultural sector is undergoing a significant transformation through innovation and technology, in line with the goals of Oman Vision 2040. The Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Water Resources is spearheading efforts to enhance food security and environmental sustainability by promoting smart farming, biotechnology, artificial intelligence and modern irrigation techniques. Smart resource management systems, vertical farming, precision agriculture and digital tools are being adopted to improve productivity, reduce waste and ensure sustainable food availability. The Ministry supports small-scale innovative projects through technical and financial assistance, while funding initiatives and awareness programmes are provided via the Agricultural and Fisheries Development Fund and digital platforms. Collaboration with universities, research centres and international organisations such as FAO and AOAD further strengthens these efforts. Emphasis is being placed on integrating technology in agriculture, including IoT-based smart farms, disease prediction and crop improvement. Legislation such as the Intellectual Property Protection Law encourages innovators to register advancements in agricultural technologies, biofertilisers and irrigation systems. Agricultural startups benefit from tax exemptions and customs duty waivers on modern technologies, while renewable energy integration and organic farming are promoted to support sustainable production. Recent research from Sultan Qaboos University highlights the potential of the Harmal plant (Peganum harmala) in combating crop diseases. Supervised by Buthaina bint Harith al Busaidyah and Dhia bint Ibrahim al Rashdiyah, the study found that Harmal extracts inhibit harmful fungi, reducing the need for chemical pesticides. The research team developed a practical solution derived from Harmal that demonstrates high efficacy against pathogenic fungi, offering an environmentally safe option for Omani farmers. Innovative companies are also contributing to sustainable farming solutions. Hawra bint Rashid al Omraniyah from the University of Al Sharqiyah showcased AZDARA, a company producing organic pesticides and fertilisers in biodegradable smart soil packs. These packs nourish the soil as they decompose and include natural products derived from animal shampoo, providing safe pest control while improving animal health. Omar bin Fathil al Daree from UTAS Ibri introduced the Smart Agriculture Cultivator (SAG 1), a sensor-equipped device that analyses soil conditions in real time, measuring moisture, pH, temperature and nutrient levels. The system alerts users to issues such as salinity or nutrient deficiencies and removes impurities like stones, weeds and plastics automatically, improving both efficiency and soil health. The Ministry stressed that investing in agricultural innovation is a strategic necessity to secure a food-safe future amidst global challenges like climate change, resource scarcity and population growth. By encouraging private-sector partnerships, promoting research and supporting startup initiatives, Oman is building a resilient and sustainable agricultural framework. Through projects like smart irrigation, organic farming and biotechnology research, Oman aims to transform its food system, promote environmental stewardship and strengthen the green economy. The combination of innovation, legislation and private-sector collaboration positions the Sultanate of Oman as a regional leader in sustainable agriculture and food security. — ONA
