The Wi-Fi Alliance and the Wireless Innovation Forum (WInnForum) have been the two leading industry organizations to take up that work, with ongoing liaison exchanges to coordinate their efforts. The Aruba/Federated AFC demonstration with CITC was the first time that a number of the work products of these organizations had been publicly tested. Members of Aruba’s CTO team have invested countless hours in these industry efforts, and we have been honored to lead/co-lead a number of them. It is very satisfying to witness the fruit of those efforts as they were demonstrated in Riyadh.

The demonstration is an important step toward adopting data-driven spectrum smart management in Saudi Arabia, as well as expanding the capabilities of WiFi 6E to enable the full realization of the potential of WiFi technologies while protecting existing users in the band, as well as expanding collaboration between the commission and its global partners.

“SAP is working to improve its qualifications so that it can collaborate with the public, corporate, and nonprofit sectors to keep public and restricted data in its data centre,” says Ahmed Al-Faifi.

In this partnership, the NIT, a not-for-profit training institute, has joined SAP’s flagship digital skill build initiative, the Young Professional Program, as part of its aim to provide Saudi nationals with advanced and accelerated training programs to develop a “job-ready” talent pool.
