In a recent statement, Bassam Al-Sarhan, Chairman of Jordan’s Telecommunications Regulatory Commission (TRC), revealed that disruptions in internet frequencies and GPS maps in the country were caused by drone activities linked to Iranian attacks on Israeli Occupation. Speaking at the Government Communication Forum, Sarhan highlighted the unprecedented regional war conditions and compared the situation to previous conflicts like the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.
He emphasized the TRC’s commitment to following established procedures in addressing interference issues and communicating with relevant countries. Citizens have reported experiencing disruptions in mapping applications and other online services, indicating the impact of these disturbances on daily life.
The connection between drone activities and geopolitical tensions sheds light on the evolving challenges faced by technology and communication sectors in the region. The TRC’s efforts to mitigate these disruptions and maintain operational integrity are crucial in ensuring that citizens have access to reliable and secure digital services.
