Manama, Bahrain - January 13, 2026 – Batelco by Beyon, the digital infrastructure arm of Bahrain's principal telecom operator Batelco, has partnered with Qareeb Data Centers to launch what both companies are calling the Middle East's first edge data center, marking a milestone in. At the start of March 2026 Saudi Arabia had the highest number of data centres in the GCC at 61. Companies such as Riyadh-based DataVolt, Ezditek and Al-Moammer Information Systems and Dubai-headquartered Gulf Data Hub have signed agreements to develop artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled data centre facilities, primarily in Saudi Arabia. As the Middle East emerges as a global data centre powerhouse - driven by AI, cloud demand, strategic investments - it presents unmatched upside for infrastructure investors and digital operators seeking scalable, high-growth opportunities. GCC Data Center Insights By White-Floor Area, IT Load (MW), Rack Capacity on 183 Data Center Facilities Across 6 countries in GCC. What are these license Types? GCC DATA CENTER PORTFOLIO COVERS 111 EXISTING DATA CENTERS AND 72 UPCOMING DATA CENTERS. Why join the GDCA? 19 events across the GCC throughout the year, including an annual.

Upgraded version of optical module for monitoring oil pipelines in Côte d Ivoire

Upgraded version of optical module for monitoring oil pipelines in Côte d Ivoire

Huawei's Sensing OptiX Solution uses Distributed Fiber Optic Sensing (DFOS) technology, deploying communication optical cables alongside oil and gas pipelines as sensors. These cables collect and analyze vibration signals to accurately paint a picture of any construction events threatening pipeline. Our sensor technologies are perfect for monitoring Oil, Natural Gas (NG) which includes, Methane (CH4), Green Hydrogen (GH2), and Carbon Dioxide (CO2) infrastructure including production facilities, pipelines and Underground Gas Storage (UGS) sites. Pipeline operators and LNG terminal operators face unique and demanding challenges. (P&GJ) — SONATRACH, Algeria's state-owned oil company, unveiled a groundbreaking smart oil and gas pipeline inspection solution developed in collaboration with Huawei at MWC Barcelona 2024.

Energy Internet in Big Data

Deep learning attempts to use a multi-layer structured learning model to study the data, which can be both supervised and unsupervised learning. Supervised learning is a category of machine learning that learns the mapping between an input data set and the output data set (target). Frequently utilized supervised learning models include regression, Random Forest (RF), adaptive boosting (AdaBoost), Nai.

Earthquake Resistance of Data Centers

Earthquake Resistance of Data Centers

Seismic resilience is critical for data centers, especially in earthquake-prone areas. Here's what you need to know: Why It Matters: Earthquakes can cause downtime, data loss, and service disruptions. 2 on the Richter scale hit East Asia, causing billions of dollars of damage and resulting in hundreds of people losing their lives. The Uptime Institute's 2024 global data center survey revealed that 53% of data center owners and operators. Did you know that a single hour of data centre downtime can cost over $100,000? In a world where data is as vital as electricity, ensuring the resilience of data centres against natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, and storms is not just a technical requirement; it's a business necessity. writes Keith Porter of SPA Risk and Molly Latham of the Association of Contingency Planners.

Planar waveguides for IDC data centers that withstand low temperatures

Planar waveguides for IDC data centers that withstand low temperatures

We report on the suitability of graded index polymer waveguides, fabricated using the Mosquito method, and graded index glass waveguides, fabricated using ion diffusion on thin glass foils, for deployment within future data center environments as part of an optically. This paper reviews the state of the art of silicon nitride waveguide platforms, with their capabilities complimentary to those of silicon-in-insulator platforms, among others, with respect to the loss levels and the power handling properties. Optical printed circuit board (OPCB) waveguide materials and fabrication methods have advanced considerably over the past 15 years, giving rise to two classes of embedded planar graded index waveguide based on polymer and glass. 045 dB/m) total propagation loss in planar waveguides with bonded thermal oxide upper claddings.
