Ooredoo Qatar has partnered with Ericsson to modernize its charging system. The move strengthens their long-standing collaboration and supports the operator’s digital goals in the 5G era.

The upgrade uses Ericsson’s Cloud Native Infrastructure (CNIS) and includes the latest version of Ericsson Charging. It also features the cloud-native Charging Access Function (CAF), which delivers a 3GPP-compliant 5G Charging Function (CHF). This will help Ooredoo Qatar monetize 5G standalone services while improving performance, security, and efficiency.

The new platform supports advanced 5G use cases such as:

  • Cloud gaming and HD video streaming
  • Augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR) applications

Thanks to this modernization, Ooredoo Qatar can enable high-speed, low-latency services. It also creates space for new business models and partnerships.

Sheikh Ali bin Jabor Al Thani, CEO of Ooredoo Qatar, said the move marks a key step in their innovation journey. It supports customer experience and strengthens Ooredoo’s position in the 5G market.

Petra Schirren, Vice President at Ericsson Gulf, said the upgrade provides a future-ready platform that allows smooth monetization of 5G services.

Ericsson has worked with Ooredoo Qatar since 2008. This latest development is another milestone in their efforts to drive digital transformation and network evolution.
