TRA Oman issues general guidelines to tackle Internet issues

The Telecommunications Regulations Authority (TRA) has issued general guidelines for using networks to avoid poor network and to decrease the pressure on the network.

The Guidelines issued by the (TRA) said, "Avoid as much as possible the use of the internet for entertainment purpose during peak hours from 9 am until 6 pm, to allow communication networks to meet the needs of the most important sectors such as the education sector, remote workers, medical communities, relief and accommodation teams. Avoid unnecessary video calls and send a large number of visual content via social media applications, which could constitute a great pressure on the network."

The TRA guidelines also advise people to disconnect unnecessary devices from Wi-Fi because the more the connected devices, lower will be the internet speed. Further, in order to reduce the pressure on mobile networks, they urged people to use office voice communications as much as possible.

Some of the other guidelines include, encouraging children to do more creative tasks off the screen instead of letting them spend a long time watching videos on various platforms, and keeping electronic devices up to date with the latest versions from the manufacturers and updated antivirus software.
