In a stride towards sustainability and the enhancement of the community, Ooredoo Kuwait reinforces its standing in the tech and telecom landscape. As part of its Smart City formula, the company has introduced smart poles at Souq Al-Mubarakiya, a central hub in Kuwait City.

The initiative aims to revolutionise the visitor experience and strives to create a greener and more sustainable urban environment. By implementing the Smart City formula, Ooredoo Kuwait has made high-speed Wi-Fi connectivity available throughout the Mubarakiya area. This enables visitors to stay connected and access information with ease.

The Smart City formula offers real-time updates on events, attractions, and services within the Mubarakiya area, providing visitors with a more informed and enriching experience. This undertaking also offers security features, which include smart surveillance and emergency alert systems. These features aim to enhance visitor safety and provide them with a heightened sense of security as they navigate the bustling Souq Al-Mubarakiya, allowing them to explore with confidence.

“Today marks a pivotal milestone in the evolution of Mubarakiya as we introduce the deployment of an advanced Smart City solution at one of our key hubs,” said Essa Haider, a director of network planning and design at Ooredoo Kuwait. “This forward-looking initiative is set to revolutionise the way visitors interact with the city and significantly contribute to a more eco-friendly, sustainable environment.”

In line with Ooredoo Kuwait’s commitment to sustainability, the Smart City initiative also incorporates energy-efficient lighting. These lighting systems not only illuminate the surroundings but also contribute to reducing energy consumption, adding to the overall environmental friendliness of the venture.
