Réseaux IP Européens Network Coordination Centre (RIPE NCC), in partnership with the Telecommunications Regulatory Commission in Jordan (TRC), successfully hosted a series of workshops and training sessions aimed at increasing the awareness about IPv6 deployment in Amman, Jordan. The sessions, which took place recently at Le Royal hotel were attended by representatives from telecom operators, Internet Service Providers (ISPs), TRC and key stakeholders from the private sector. The sessions were aimed at educating participants about IPv6 deployment and other related topics.
Two training courses were conducted over three days. A basic IPv6 training course, which discussed IPv6 adoption and deployment, and an advanced IPv6 training course, which looked at the similarities between IPv4 and IPv6 and how to make your network IPv6 ready.
Maha Ziad Mouasher, Studies and Research Officer at TRC said: “TRC remains steadfast in its commitment to provide the much-needed support to further expand Internet connectivity and to enhance telecommunications services nationwide, including the efforts to promote IPv6 deployment. We are pleased with the success of this collaborative event with RIPE NCC and we look forward to working closely with them across future endeavours”.
