The
National Telecom Regulatory Authority (NTRA) launched WiFi6E technology in the
Egyptian market for the first time, with the aim of enhancing and meeting the
needs of Internet and Wi-Fi users in Egypt.
This came during the
NTRA’s announcement of the achievements it has made during the opening
activities of Cairo ICT 2024 last Sunday.
This technology will
bring about a shift in the quality of Internet services and improve the user
experience by providing higher speeds, lower response time, and greater efficiency
in the use of wireless networks.
It also comes with
the ability to accommodate a larger number of users on internal networks.
The NTRA also
introduced a number of new services and licenses in the Egyptian market, such
as fifth-generation mobile phone services, issuing call center licenses, and
enabling the display of annoying promotional calls, in addition to Internet of
Things services, data center services, and cloud computing, which target
investments estimated at about US$5 billion in the coming years.
The authority worked
to improve the quality of service, raise the efficiency of measurement systems,
monitor the frequency spectrum and expand the establishment of mobile stations.
It also aims to
create a new mechanism for quality violation penalties aimed at motivating
mobile service companies to increase their investments in infrastructure by a
value double the value of the financial penalty, which directly benefits
citizens.
