Little about Saudi Arabia's on-going projects

Well guys, let me increase your knowledge a bit more regarding on-going projects in Saudi Arabia. In few years, you'll see Saudi Arabia with a different view. 5 Economic cities are being build, which will have world's best communication technologies, not just communication, but best traffic facilities, best architect designs, and a lot more. The five economic cities will have a 'HUB' which will connect all these cities together and everything will be controlled, monitored, and managed electronically. Soon everything will be electronic (i.e. e-Government). Cisco's latest technology which you usually see in Hollywood Movies, that a man is in front of you but his body is somewhere else (physically not present but semantically there..). King Abdullah is one of their first client who accepted & planned to implement Cisco's Live TelePresence systems with UC (unified communications) all over the Kingdom which will change the Saudi world ultimately.

More over... you can see rapid development in Riyadh, roads are being decorated at a fast pace. King Fahad Road is already done. And you can see GREENERY while driving! with fascinating lightning effects!

in Jeddah, world's biggest main frame computer is being built which will be completed in next 20 years (approx.), and it will be a part of King Abdullah's new science university. The main frame computer is named "shaheen" and it's world's 8th LARGEST COMPUTER ON EARTH! Global scientists will research at this university as planned. And this is just a start... :)

More over... Riyadh's traffic was totally out of control (that's what the authorities used to say...), but now, current government implemented world's best traffic systems, some are being developed, some are already up and running. The number of accidents in Riyadh per month was MORE THAN WHOLE WORLD'S NUMBER OF ACCIDENTS per month, which is controlled efficiently in this year. I've been with guys who developed the new traffic control systems and integrated them with GPS etc.

Now whenever an accident occurs, when someone calls the traffic police, the operator sees the caller's position right away!! & officers are dispatched at the same time as soon the operator confirms! There are few special cars built to test a system which is not yet implemented completely but will be common soon, every police car will have a built-in radar which will act as weapons detection of EVERY KIND... ;) oh yeah... and Saudi Environmentalists are here too!! Government is applying ordinances which are GREEN, traffic police cars which are parked on highways all day got SOLAR ENERGY SAVERS!! you can see these cars on King Fahad Road in Riyadh, already there!...

everything is happening, but expatriates are no where... in all this development... who developed Saudi with their hard works :)
