Featuring built-in Wi-Fi support and to be given free or heavily discounted with Home Broadband bundle subscriptions, this HBI-200 modem also has a built-in smart antenna array to making it easy to receive the WiMAX signal.
Business customers are being invited to meet with account managers who will be on hand to talk about Nawras now being the preferred provider of fixed and mobile services for so many of the top corporate names in Oman. At the business stand, an interactive platform will allow visitors to see how Nawras has connected the buildings in the Central Business District with an optic fibre network ring and what pleasingly different services can be availed through this infrastructure.
Another exciting element for the business segment will be the Nawras Business Group offer, giving new corporate customers the tremendous advantage of three months of free inter-company local calls and SMS after signing up for a minimum of five new mobile postpaid lines.
Also at the business stand, hands on experiences for visitors will explain how Nawras helps telecommunications administrators control and monitor expenses. Debuting at COMEX will be the bill analyser, a brand new service giving valuable analytical information to telecom administrators as part of the popular MyNawras self-care web tool.
Hussain Al Lawati, Nawras Sales Director, said, “This is our second year at COMEX as a full service provider and as always, we are looking forward to this annual event as it gives us the ideal opportunity to get closer to our customers. We invite visitors to come and see how Nawras is already serving many businesses with great value and award-winning customer service. Our demonstrations will feature some of the ‘firsts’ introduced to the market through last year’s launch of fixed services.”
Nawras will be located in prime positions on the business side of COMEX and on the shoppers’ side of the exhibition.
