Mikrolink preparing FIFA World Cup telecom infrastructure

With the 2022 FIFA World Cup scheduled to kick off on 20 November, global system integrator Mikrolink has been working with contractors in host country Qatar as it looks to complete its preparations in many areas ranging from construction to infrastructure.

Mikrolink, which has been creating telecommunications and information technology solutions with its division in Qatar for over four years, has been undertaking its activities for the World Cup at full speed. The company is actively involved in ensuring communication and improving the quality of existing systems in Qatar, which will host millions of people from almost every country in the world during the tournament.

Mikrolink will provide cutting-edge technology to enable high-efficiency and high-quality communication for the World Cup, offering telecommunication solutions such as 5G smart poles, in-building solutions, and fixed and mobile base stations. It will also provide GSM network maintenance services both during and after the World Cup. Mikrolink Deputy General Manager Doğan Eraslan said that the company will continue to work with all operators in the country to ensure uninterrupted communication.

“About 3.572 billion people watched the FIFA World Cup held in Russia in 2018 on television and digital media,” he said. “More than 1.5 million tourists are expected to come to the tournament, which is expected to be watched by more than half of the world’s population. GSM operators are also making preparations to ensure quality and uninterrupted communication.

“Qatar also made a serious investment for the FIFA World Cup 2022. We aim to guarantee that communication operations in the nation continue without any issues both during and after the FIFA World Cup by providing our services in this direction at worldwide standards, which we use in many nations of the world, including Qatar.”
