Middle Eastern telecoms firm Ooredoo has inaugurated a new data center and cable landing station (CLS) in Salalah, Oman, in the presence of Sayyid Marwan bin Turki, Governor of Dhofar, alongside Ooredoo Oman CEO Saoud Al Riyami.
The company said the data center was a “milestone project that reinforces the Sultanate of Oman’s position as a key hub on the region’s digital transformation map," and will grow to capacity for 500 racks in phases.
“The new facility is the first of its kind in the south of the Sultanate, uniquely combining a world-class data center with a submarine cable landing station in one location,” Ooredoo said.
“The Salalah Data Centre and Landing Station is a catalyst for Oman’s digital future,” said Saed Al Ghafri, director of infrastructure at Ooredoo. “It reinforces our role in driving economic diversification, attracting global digital investment, and enabling the next wave of cloud and AI innovation. By creating a southern gateway for international connectivity, we are strengthening Oman’s position as a regional leader in the digital economy and unlocking long-term value for businesses, communities, and the wider region.”
