Nokia's FastMile gateways are self-contained residential devices that connect wirelessly to the existing 4G or 5G network while creating a better and faster Wi-Fi experience within the home. As for the installation, the process is quite easy as the gateway guides customers through the process of identifying the right location in the home for the best performance.
Starting today, the Nokia FastMile 5G Gateway is available today from the Ooredoo Kuwait website for residential as well as business customers. The premium internet device incorporates Wi-Fi 6 with self-optimizing mesh technology to optimize performance in real-time while its advanced antenna designs provide higher throughput and better coverage, resulting in improved customer experience and a lower operational cost.
