TRA Holds Internet Protocol Version 6 Workshop for the first time in the UAE
The Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) this week hosted the Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) Workshop, the first of its kind in the UAE, at their Dubai office. The IPv6 Workshop introduced key internet stakeholders to the business drivers and challenges for IPv6 adoption.
Over 50 public and private sector entities gathered for two days discussing ways to ensure internet business continuity. The program helps support Governments, businesses and other internet stakeholders to collectively coordinate and cooperate in devising policies, strategies and action plans with the aim to raise awareness and promote the deployment and usage of IPv6.
“Internet and ICT services are a key factor and catalyst for the social and economic development of the UAE and its well-being,” said H.E. Mohamed Nasser Al Ghanim, Director General of the TRA. “The IPv6 workshop acts as a platform to discuss and exchange views around IPv6 adoption in the UAE and the role to be played by the local internet stakeholders.”
The workshop comes as part of TRA’s IPv6 strategy development initiatives preparing the UAE and its internet users for the expected IPv4 exhaustion. The program will help the UAE secure healthy levels of growth and development that have long characterized the nation’s ICT sector, preserving its leadership role in economic and social development.
