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.

Egypt-born Dina Powell McCormick appointed Meta president and vice chairman

LONDON: Meta has appointed Egypt-born Dina Powell McCormick as its new president and vice chairman.
The company said on Monday that the former Goldman Sachs partner and White House official, who previously served on Meta’s board of directors, is stepping up into a senior leadership role as the company accelerates its push into artificial intelligence and global infrastructure.
Powell McCormick, who was born in Cairo and moved to the US as a young girl, will join the management team and help guide its overall strategy and execution. She will work closely with Meta’s Compute and infrastructure teams, the company said, overseeing multi-billion-dollar investments in data centers, energy systems and global connectivity, while building new strategic capital partnerships.
“Dina’s experience at the highest levels of global finance, combined with her deep relationships around the world, makes her uniquely suited to help Meta manage this next phase of growth as the company’s president and vice chairman,” Meta founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg said.
Powell McCormick has more than 25 years of experience in finance, national security and economic development. She spent 16 years as a partner at Goldman Sachs in senior leadership roles, and served two US presidents, including stints as deputy national security adviser to Donald Trump, and a senior State Department official under George W. Bush.
Most recently, she was vice chair and president of global client services at merchant bank BDT & MSD Partners.
