The United Arab Emirates has been named to have the best
telecom sector quality and evolution in the region while coming second globally
for the second consecutive year. The nation has been living up to its goal of
excelling in every sector and as the end of 2020 nears, this addition to the
list of achievements shows that it is in the right direction.
The achievements comes after the emirati nation
successfully actively ‘uses the telecommunications/ICTs’ under which the
efficiency and the evolution of this sector is measured. The details revealed
are a part of the Global Competitiveness Report issued by the World Economic
Forum.
But the credit for this achievement goes to the combined
effort of those who initiated this idea and those who implemented it. The
efforts on the ground were administered by the Telecommunications and Digital
Regulatory Authority (TDRA) who very efficiently implemented the directives and
vision of the UAE’ wise leadership due which now the modern innovations in the
telecommunication sector are prospering.
This is even more commendable when it comes to using the
5G network where the UAE stands at number one in the Arab region while fourth
globally. As per a report in the news agency WAM, the credit for this goes to
the mobile operators, who have successfully deployed and operated 5G networks
and also continued their work with service providers in the country.
The TDRA Director General, Hamad Obaid Al Mansoori, also
expressed his views on the matter saying, “"We conclude this year with
such proud achievement, emphasising the significance of the ICT sector in the
strategic thinking of our wise leadership, based on the belief that
spearheading the telecom sector paves the way for excellence and leadership in
all various vital sectors, meaning enabling digital transformation and easing
conditions for providing AI-based services and solutions, and big data. We have
all been walking in the path of development, prosperity and digital knowledge,
and today we are moving at a faster pace relying on a highly-advanced digital
infrastructure.”
He also added that the private entities along with the
government worked in coordination, in team spirit, where they have presented
the country with the best creative idea that will take the country forward.
The report further included the detailed analysis of how
the countries all around the world dealt with the threat of coronavirus and
what was their immediate response. This brought into view how crucial it is for
countries to be well-equipped with the telecommunications sector and be active
in the digital sector too, as that would impact a country's ability to manage
economic changes.
The report concluded
with the UAE ranking fourth globally in the ‘digital legal frameworks’ while
efficiently handling the pandemic. Not only this but the UAE also ranked number
one in 12 different competitive parameters that are responsible for measuring
the quality and development of telecommunications sectors all throughout the
world.
