(MENAFN- Muscat Daily) Muscat- In a bid to drive forward the eGovernment transformation in the sultanate, the Information Technology Authority (ITA), in collaboration with Omantel, conducted a two-day workshop on the Oman Government Network (OGN) at InterContinental Muscat.
According to a press release, participants discussed the latest services and upgrades to the Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) system and the enhancement of available services delivered to customers.
The objective of the workshop was to provide a communication platform where all stakeholders of this government initiative were present in one place, allowing them to share experiences, learn about ITA's and Omantel's plans in this project, and the new advancements related to MPLS.
MPLS is a type of data-carrying technique for high-performance telecommunication networks, that directs data from one network node to the next based on short path labels rather than long network addresses, avoiding complex lookups in a routing table.
Nuzha Mohammed al Maharbi, team leader, Oman Government Network at ITA said, 'Oman Government Network is a single communication national infrastructure considering it to be a vital tool towards the advancement of our eGovernment transformation and provision of efficient government eServices. In September 2016, OGN linked 1,025 government websites from 80 government entities into a single unified network.'
