The Internet of Things, for Smart Cities, Smart Metering, Smart Building and Smart Industries, will be a major topic at this year’s largest technology show in MENA and GCC.
Actility (major player in the world LORAWAN – LORA infrastructure for operators) has developed partnerships with regional players, such as Machinestalk in Saudi Arabia
Oredoo has announced the launch of a LORAWAN network in Oman. Oredoo is also the first Telecom Operator in the GCC region to join the LoRa Alliance.
DU (UAE) carried out its first LORAWAN tests in 2015 already! DU is the second mobile operator in UAE
