The World Teleport Association (WTA) announced that etisalat by e& has achieved Tier 4 certification of its Tawi al Saman teleport in Sharjah and Jebel Ali teleport in Dubai, United Arab Emirates under WTA’s Teleport Certification Program.
To achieve Full Certification under WTA’s program, an auditor is dispatched to visit the teleport, provide independent validation of the data submitted in a questionnaire, and identify additional factors that may positively or negatively affect the score. Full Certification is issued at a Tier number from 1 through 4, of which 4 represents the highest degree of excellence, and remains in effect for 3 years.
Khalid Murshed, Chief Technology & Information Officer at etisalat by e&, said: “We are delighted that our Tawi Al Saman and Jebel Ali teleports have achieved Tier 4 WTA Full Certification. At etisalat by e&, we see this recognition as a reason to push the boundaries of excellence and exceed expectations, and it represents a proud moment for the UAE. It underlines our continued commitment to the highest standards of quality, security and efficiency in our day-to-day operations, positioning us and the UAE as leaders in the global technology sector.
“This certification is a testament to the trust placed in us by our esteemed global clientele base, a tribute to our state-of-the-art facilities, and our ongoing commitment to providing unparalleled service to our clients worldwide.”
“WTA has now certified teleports in 25 nations,” said Executive Director Robert Bell. “The growing adoption of this international standard for excellence in teleport operations and technology translates into greater value for customers and the teleport operators that serve them.”
WTA’s Teleport Certification Program serves both teleport operators and their customers by creating an objective, transparent, and internationally accepted method for teleport operators to document the quality of their operations for customers and strategic partners. It also provides a means for customers to select teleport vendors delivering the price-performance level that is appropriate for their applications.
