MUSCAT: The Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA), in cooperation with a consultancy firm, is conducting a technical field survey to measure the coverage and quality of mobile telecommunications services in all governorates of the Sultanate. The survey covers all populated villages and towns as per the population and housing census data. The project aims to create an updated and approved database on the level of coverage and quality of mobile services in villages and governorates through field visits.
The database will serve as a reference for expansion of communication networks for current and future plans. The project will also ensure the availability of comparable information on network coverage and quality of mobile services for each telecom operator, which will assist consumers in making informed purchasing decisions when selecting their preferred service provider at their respective locations. The field survey will also include indoor measurements of some frequently visited places such as airports, hospitals and shopping centres. — ONA
