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.
