First Middle East Network Operators Group (MENOG) Meeting in Bahrain

NEWS | Amsterdam, 19 February 2007

The Middle East Network Operators Group (MENOG) will hold its first meeting between 3 - 5 April 2007, at the Diplomat Radisson SAS Hotel in Bahrain.

Hosted by 2Connect, it will offer network engineers and other technical staff the opportunity to share their experiences and knowledge, and identify areas for regional cooperation.

MENOG 1 will be modelled on meetings held by NANOG (North American Network Operators Group) in North America, and SANOG (South Asian Network Operators Group) in the South Asian region.

The meeting agenda will include presentations, tutorials, and workshops to discuss implementation issues that require community cooperation. Topics of discussion will include network expansion, broadband deployment and scaling wireless networks in the desert.

The RIPE NCC is proud to support the launch of this important regional forum, and will be providing organisational assistance throughout MENOG 1 .

Online registration for MENOG 1 is free and open to everyone.

Regional and local operators interested in participating, either as a presenter or a sponsor, should send an e-mail to contact@ripe.net.
