It will supply state-of-the art telecommunications and technical support services to race organisers and international media attending the race, which starts on February 5.
Qtel is also hosting the VIP Tent at the Oryx Quest race village and its CEO, Dr. Nasser Marafih, said: “We have been actively involved in supporting and sponsoring most of the leading sporting events in the country that has helped put Qatar on the global sports map.
“As the fastest yacht race in the world, Oryx Quest 2005 represents innovation and technical superiority and as such offers a very suitable sponsorship opportunity for the region’s leading telecommunications company.”
Said Quest CEO Tracy Edwards MBE: “Qtel’s help with our communications requirements will be invaluable and by facilitating Oryx Quest 2005 they are helping to further the government’s strategy of promoting Qatar and its hosting of the 2006 Asian Games.”
