Gulf Bridge International (GBI) has signed a new long-term agreement with Vodafone Qatar that will provide the telco with IP transit service, International SDH and Global Ethernet from Qatar to Europe and Asia.

This agreement enhances the exiting strategic business alliance between the two companies. The latter has the ability to grow further with the increase in consumer and enterprise demand, capitalising on GBI’s strategic connectivity corridors. This agreement is set to enhance the strategic business alliance between the two companies.

“We are excited to be extending our partnership with Vodafone Qatar and working closely together on delivering value to our customers,” said Abdulla Al Ruwali (pictured on the right), executive director and managing director of GBI.

“As demonstrated by this agreement, we are looking forward to building sustainable, long-term partnerships with global leaders, with the ultimate goal of bringing the experience to our partners and end-users with the unique GBI network spread.”

The GBI solution will offer Vodafone Qatar’s consumers and businesses secure connectivity that will serve Vodafone Qatar’s high internet and data demand locally and globally. The GBI network enhances reliability and business continuity and the North route guarantees access to European content. This is all supported by GBI’s 24/7 network operation centre.

Sheikh Hamad Abdulla Al-Thani (pictured on the left), CEO of Vodafone Qatar, said that the announcement with GBI was "another solid step in its constant strive to deliver a world-class experience to both its mobile and broadband customers", adding: "The relationship represents an opportunity to significantly expand our reach through their network, as we focus our combined energies in order to serve a broader range of customers.”
