We're gearing up for this year's Capacity Middle East, happening March 7-9 in Dubai. Our own Erik Kreifeldt and Kate Reilly will be on the scene.
Erik will be moderating the panel "The Surge of New Submarine Cables and the Role They Play in Addressing Data Explosion, Content Demands, Regional IoT and Cloud Adoption."
This session will feature leading industry representatives from Bharti Airtel, GBI, Omantel, Sparkle, Turk Telekom International, Vodafone Carrier Services, and WIOCC. You can peruse the full conference schedule here.
Now in its 12th year, Capacity Middle East is the largest meeting between Tier 1 carriers in the region and international carriers and service providers.
With attendance from Tier 2 and Tier 3 carriers to round out the program, Capacity Middle East offers a platform to buy and sell voice, data, cloud, peering, and data center content and SMS services.
And as if you needed another reason to get this conference on your calendar, we'll have copies of our 2017 Middle East Telecommunications Map on hand, which are hot off the press.
