Cooperation Agreements to be signed between NTI and Canadian Technology Firms.

Minister of Communications and Information Technology Tarek Kamel will witness the signing of two cooperation agreements between the National Telecommunication Institute (NTI) and Montreal-based companies SR Telecom and Goulet Telecom in the context of the official trade mission to Canada.

The cooperation agreement with SR Telecom International will establish a training lab at the NTI facilities in Egypt. SR Telecom International, a pioneer in the manufacturing, design, and deployment of wireless telecommunications equipment and WiMAX technology, will also train two NTI engineers at the company's premises in Canada.

A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) will also be signed between NTI and Goulet Telecom, a major international player in the field of telecommunications training and consultancy, to provide a range of telecommunications programs across Egypt as well as other regions in Africa and the Middle East.

"The signing of these two agreements reinforces NTI's position and role as a leading training and consultancy institution in Egypt and in the Middle East," said Dr. Ahmed El Sherbini, Director of NTI.
