At GCCM ME 2024, our very own Mundhir Al Raisi shared his insights on 'The Future of Subsea Cable Maintenance'—a topic of critical importance as our digital ecosystem expands at unprecedented rates. With the rapid increase in subsea cables, maintaining this vital infrastructure is essential. Collaboration across all seabed users is no longer a choice but a necessity. By fostering knowledge and data sharing, we can ensure a cohesive approach to maintaining these lifelines of connectivity. Mundhir emphasized that proactive investment in maintenance resources, including the need for additional vessels in our region, will be key to sustaining global connectivity. At Zain Omantel International, we’re committed to leading this charge, securing the future of connectivity for all. #ZOI #Zain #Omantel #GCCM2024 #Oman
