<div>Nesma Telecom &amp; Technology is working on a project for the Ministry of Interior to build a fiber optic network that links Riyadh region with Makkah (MIFON 3). NT&amp;T is working on the third phase of the seven-phase project where each phase is connected between two regions to form an accumulative network.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>The distance at which the third stage serves, which is more than 1,200 km, will help to link 160 locations for the Ministry of Interior, in addition to serving different sites on the highways.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>One of the priorities during implementation was to keep all existing networks in the area intact, including water, electricity, and web networks. Therefore, NT&amp;T followed special drilling methods in addition to the instructions of the project management team.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Azzam Wali, Manager of NT&amp;T&rsquo;s OSP Division explains, &ldquo;MIFON 3 is very different from other Fiber Optic Networks projects. It includes connecting enormous number of sites and covering a long route passing different geographical ground forms including valleys and mountains. This project adds more value to Nesma experience especially through dealing with a VIP client with the aim to perform professionally with up to date equipment and methods of implementation.&rdquo;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>MIFON 3 started in 2014 and it is estimated to be completed by March, 2017.</div>
