オマーンの通信エリア

オマーン の数値が意味すること

重要な数値は2つあり、どの会社も引用するのはそのうち1つだけです。一般的な速度は64 Mbps。調子のいいときがどれくらいかを示す数字です。

読む価値があるのは10パーセンタイル、17 Mbpsのほうです。駅の上の基地局が混み合い、周りの全員が同じ電波につながっている、その日の下位1割のときの速度です。中央値が高くて下限が低い国は、本当に必要になるその瞬間まではみごとに動く国だということです。

ビデオ通話やテザリングが欠かせない旅なら、一般的な速度ではなく混雑時の数値を基準に計画してください。

オマーンで回線が混んだときに起きること

混雑は故障ではなく、火曜の夜です。問題は、そのときeSIMに何ができるかで、たいていの旅行用eSIMの答えは「何もできない」です。国ごとに卸契約が1つ、ネットワークが1つ、路上に立ったまま他社のeSIMをもう1枚買う以外に逃げ道がありません。

ここではOrbisloの通信はOmantel、Ooredooを通ります。いま乗っているネットワークが劣化したら、旅行の途中でも、お客様が頼まなくても別の回線へ移します。そのときに邪魔をするのではなく、あとからお知らせします。

オマーンの携帯キャリア

• Vodafone Oman: Vodafone became Oman's third mobile operator with a first class licence granted by Royal Decree 4/2021. The company is owned by Omani institutions, including pension and investment funds, and Vodafone Group holds no share of its capital.
• Vodafone Oman: Vodafone Oman opened for customers in the last days of 2021, selling through 3,500 authorised distributors with a launch offer that ran until 31 January 2022.

オマーンの旧世代ネットワーク

• Oman closed its 3G networks region by region: 700 stations in Al Buraimi, Al Dhahirah and Musandam in July 2024, then Al Dakhiliyah, Al Wusta and Dhofar, then the Batinah and Sharqiyah governorates in January 2025.
• Muscat's 1,699 stations went dark by mid 2025, apart from a few near Muscat International Airport kept for technical reasons. More than 5,600 stations were affected nationwide, and the freed spectrum now carries 4G, 5G and IoT.

オマーンの5G

• On 16 October 2019 the regulator granted Omantel and Ooredoo the right to use 100 MHz of 5G spectrum, with a target of 4,400 5G stations within five years and a one year waiver of annual spectrum fees.
• Omantel launched 5G in December 2019 in the 3.4 to 3.6 GHz band. Both standalone and non-standalone 5G are being deployed in Oman, and Vodafone Oman tested standalone 5G voice and data with Ericsson in January 2023.
• Frequencies are not auctioned in a public tender. Only a Class I licensee can hold spectrum, and each licence carries an obligation to build a set number of sites every year and to provide universal service.
• With the 3G shutdown complete, the regulator put 4G coverage at 99 percent and 5G coverage at 90 percent.

オマーンのネットワークについて

• Operators do not share 5G networks as a rule, but national roaming between them is switched on in universal service areas and during national emergencies, under service agreements and regulatory approval.
• When cables through the Bab al Mandab strait in the Red Sea were cut in September 2025, Omantel rerouted traffic over redundant routes and told the stock exchange its service was unaffected.
• International internet bandwidth reached 5.382 million Mbps by the end of June 2026, up 31.8 percent in a year.
• For road trips into the desert and mountains, British travel advice tells visitors to carry a mobile or satellite phone, travel in convoy where possible and leave a copy of their plans with someone.
