The agreement took more than six months to come to light, as we wanted to ensure that the plans complied with the rapid developments in the telecom technology. We also wanted to exploit future technologies with a highly efficient contractual framework.” Rafiah Ibrahim, Head of Ericsson Middle East and Africa, says: “Our relationship with Mobily goes back to 2005. We have helped build Mobily’s network across Saudi Arabia and will continue to provide leading solutions to address their needs, making the network ready for 5G and Internet of Things. The overall benefits of the modernized network will extend to offering enhanced experiences to Mobily’s subscribers.” Saudi Arabia is one of the leading countries in terms of mobile data growth and it was more than 100 percent in 2015. As the volume of mobile data traffic continues to increase, Mobily has embraced Ericsson’s new solutions to make optimal use of the spectrum and network resources, and to offer the highest possible throughput and capacity to its subscribers.
USA is considering banning Laptops from all flights
The Donald Trump supervision is considering banning notebook computers from the traveler cabins of most international plane tickets to and from the United States, Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly has said. Kelly, a retired basic, was asked on Fox Information on Weekend if he’d expand a preexisting ban to hide notebook computers on all international plane tickets into and from the US, The Guardian reported. “I would,” he said. Such a move would considerably broaden the ban, released in March, that influences about 50 plane tickets each day from 10 metropolitan areas, mostly in the centre East. The ban helps prevent travellers from taking laptop computers, tablets and certain other devices up to speed in carry-on carriers. All consumer electronics bigger when compared to a smartphone must be checked out in. The measure pertains to nonstop US-bound plane tickets from 10 airfields in Amman, Jordan; Kuwait City, Kuwait; Cairo; Istanbul; Jeddah and Riyadh, Saudi Arabia; Casablanca, Morocco; Doha, Qatar; and Dubai and Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates. About 50 plane tickets each day, all on overseas airlines, are afflicted. Before this month, accounts said the Trump supervision would broaden the ban to add planes from europe, impacting trans-Atlantic routes that bring as much as 65 million people annually. US representatives have said that primary ban had not been predicated on any specific menace but on longstanding concerns about extremists focusing on jetliners. Speaking on Fox and Friends on Fri, Kelly said some individuals would “never go out” if indeed they recognized what he understood about terrorist activity. “There’s a genuine hazard,” Kelly said on Weekend, adding that terrorists are “obsessed” with the thought of downing a planes in journey, “especially if from the US carrier, especially if it’s packed with mostly US people. It’s real.” Reuters
