Awasr  Awasr () is the Sultanate of Oman's first specialised broadband Internet service provider and the third fixed line telecom license holder beside Omantel and Qatar-based Ooredoo. Awasr started operations in March 2015. It is a wholly owned Omani telecommunications company operating as per the guidelines set in Oman’s National Broadband Strategy. Awasr received a Class I license in 2012 valid for 25 years from the Telecom Regulatory Authority (TRA) for provision of Fixed public telecommunications services in Muscat Governorate, subsequently extended to cover all of Oman. Launched in March 2015, Awasr is the country’s first purely fibre-optic network for home and business internet connections. Headquartered in the capital, Muscat, Awasr has grown in strength and size since it first acquired the Class 1 License to provide general fixed telephone services across the Sultanate of Oman. Over 2017, Awasr, which is the first provider to launch 1Gbit/s speed consumer product in the market, fortified its domestic presence by bringing newer destinations under its coverage, complementing Oman’s National Broadband Strategy. The strategy is aimed at enhancing Oman’s fixed network penetration, which is below the regional average. Its objectives are to ensure that every resident in the country has access to high-speed broadband at affordable prices and to bring rural and remote communities under broadband connectivity. Awasr’s staggered growth is commensurate with these crucial requisites. The Oman National Investment Development Company (TANMIA) has 32% stake in Awasr. TANMIA invests in Awasr through a combination of equity purchase from the current owners and a capital increase to finance new development projects.
