The DataMiner NMS/OSS platform has recently been implemented by Qatar Media Corporation (QMC), the official broadcasting authority for Qatar.

The service, developed by Skyline Communications, will manage the complete current broadcast networks, including technologies such as AM, FM, DAB+, DVB-T2, UHF and VHF at all its transmission sites in Doha, Shahanyia, Khissa and Arish.

Glenn D’Haene, Sales Director for the EMEA and APAC region at Skyline Communications, said: “With DataMiner in place, QMC is ensured to live up to their viewers’ high expectations. It’s becoming common knowledge in the broadcast and media industry that we deeply integrated innovative AI-powered technology into DataMiner. As such, the platform enables QMC to keep on delivering high service quality to the consumer, no matter how complex their ecosystem is or will become. And that’s invaluable in this modern and fast-changing world. Viewers don’t expect to be hindered by sudden errors or service failures anymore. It’s so important that operators are able to resolve issues before they even occur. And thanks to DataMiner, they can.”

QMC’s Mohammed Abdulaziz Ali Ibrahim Al-Emadi added: “At Qatar Media Corporation, we always keep up with the latest trends and evolutions in the media industry. That’s easier said than done due to the incredibly fast pace of developments and the increasing complexity of our infrastructure. A next-generation management and orchestration platform is therefore an absolute must to ensure a future-proof and flexible operation, and DataMiner offers the best solutions on the market to give us that guarantee.”

Skyline Communications has confirmed that DataMiner is meant as the first step of a larger operation in Qatar Media Corporation.
