Mobily has confirmed that the network in Mashair (holy sites) has recorded a growth of 32 percent in the number of subscribers.
It also recorded an increase in the number of ‘roamers’ arriving from outside the Kingdom. These figures grew by 24 percent in comparison to last year.
Mobily confirmed its success in accommodating the steady increase in the number of roamers easily and conveniently.
This was attributed to the two major central call centers allocated for international calls to all countries.
The two central locations have a large capacity to meet the needs of pilgrims.
The Wi-Fi service has also recorded a significant growth in the volume of the exchanged data in the holy sites on the Eid day.
The rate exceeded 95 percent compared to the same period last year.
Mobily is providing free Wi-Fi service for the pilgrims, after having completed the expansion of the Wi-Fi network coverage in each of Mina, Arafat and Muzdalifah covering more than 1,300 sites.
The company continues to provide this free service to pilgrims and service providers for the eighth consecutive year.
It should be noted that Mobily has linked all floors of Al-Jamarat bridge with the fiber optic network. This will contribute to a smooth flow of data and international and local calls without any bottlenecks.
Mobily also covered the internal area of train stations with a special network linked with the fiber optic network to pass the pilgrims calls inside congested train stations at holy sites.
