Technology spurs massive change in the Middle East

As part of the first tier of countries to usher in 4G — including two of Saudi Arabia’s telecom networks — the UAE is ahead in the race, given that 248 other telecom operators around the globe have only now committed to LTE or are still conducting field trials.

Alan Hadden, GSA president, said in a statement that less than half of the trials group is expected to have full fourth-generation networks in play next year.

“Based on GSA’s research, we are confident that at least 103 LTE networks will be commercially launched by the end of 2012.”

IFS is pleased to announce that we have signed an MOU with ACTR (USA) for the provision of Geostrut Carbon fibre masts in the MENA region.

The extremely light weight and robust mast systems can be used for Telco network line of site towers. The cost of purchase is commensurate with steel or concrete soultinos. The cost of installation offers a saving against steel/ concrete of up to 90%
