This year Saudi Arabia has made the experience of Haj pilgrims more modern and comfortable than ever. Now every Haji will get the facility of free high-speed Wi-Fi at all holy sites like Mecca, Madina, Meena, Arafat and Mujdalifa. That is, Haj is now not just a spiritual journey, but also a digital experience.
According to the report of Gulf News, the Saudi government has established more than 10,500 Wi-Fi hotspots this time, so that Hajis will not have to bother for the Internet anywhere. 100% 4G and 5G networks have been activated at all major sites, making the journey more smart and connected.
Giving information about Haj communication and technical system spokesperson Saad al-Shanbari said-“Now there is internet everywhere, Hajis do not need to find WiFi anywhere. Our aim is to be the experience of the Hajis as well as convenient.”
This time AI technology is also being taken help during Haj to improve security and mob management. A smart monitoring system has been installed in collaboration with Saudi Aramco Digital, which keeps an eye on crowd activities through cameras and networks and gives alert in time.
