        A Joint Effort in Capacity Building



        through IPv6 Training Initiative by CRA


        and RIPE NCC










        In line with Qatar’s Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) Implementation Strategy

        and as an essential component of the ongoing joint capacity-building efforts,
        the Communications Regulatory Authority in Qatar (CRA) in collaboration with
        the Réseaux IP Européens Network Coordination Centre (RIPE NCC),
        conducted a three-day training course on IPv6 from February 19 - 21, 2024.



        The training course was attended by attendees representing Qatar’s IPv6
        Taskforce Members from Aspire Zone, Qatar Energy, Ministry of Public Health,

        Hamad International Airport, Sidra Medicine, General Authority of Customs,
        Carnegie Mellon University-Qatar, Qatar University, Hamad Bin Khalifa
        University, Qatar Foundation, Ministry of Education and Higher Education,
        Qatar Airways, and the University of Doha for Science and Technology.



        The training was thoroughly designed to equip participants with the essential
        knowledge and skills required for a seamless and successful transition from
        Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) to IPv6. It provided an in-depth exploration

        of critical aspects of transitioning to IPv6 such as configuration, deployment,
        routing, and security. It addressed the significance of IPv6 and its necessity
        for modern networks. The course offered foundational knowledge on planning

        IPv6 deployment and addressing strategies. Furthermore, it encompassed
        additional relevant topics on IPv6 that are crucial for telecom network
        infrastructure.



        “In line with our commitment to support digital transformation and enhancing
        the technological infrastructure in the State of Qatar, the importance of the
        training course offered in collaboration with the RIPE NCC becomes evident.

        This initiative is a cornerstone in our strategy to building the capacity of our
        technical staff and enable them to apply the latest global standards in the
