Dear partners and dear readers, we are pleased to present to you our best wishes for a healthy and happy new year. Our great hope hangs on the disappearance of this pandemic whether medically, by vaccination, or by the extinction of the virus in a natural way. Actually, our biggest desire for the time being is to get back to normal activities and life.

In this 34th LTE Magazine issue, we will examine the management of telecom networks in relation to the covid19 pandemic, a subject which was widely covered in an international seminar held at the beginning of last November in Istanbul, Turkey, in which we actively participated. This topic is of particular interest today, at all levels, and gives rise to lively and rich debates in all fields, because of the current pandemic. Indeed, the virus, which has spread to almost all countries, has had profound and significant impacts on all sectors, and in particular on the telecommunications sector.

The virus has forced us into a partial or a total lockdown, and as a result, we are now spending more time at home telecommuting, learning and teaching online, exchanging and communicating virtually, and having fun through the web. Consequently, we are consuming more data via our downloads, our views and our IP calls. In fact, all our telecom networks have been put under severe strain. It was therefore interesting to analyze measures taken by various players to assess the resistance of telecom networks with respect to traffic increases. Let us note that telecom networks, fixed or mobile, and whatever the technology used, were not designed to handle very tense traffic as the one we are experiencing in this period of health crisis. Hence, as soon as an unusual situation arises, necessary measures are taken upstream or downstream to best facilitate the management of data flows.

Thus, we dealt with the following subjects in this folder. -“International telecom players are urged to step up actions in order to avoid congestion” by Ahmed Khaouja. -“Measures taken by Moroccan telecom players to avoid network congestion” by Youssef Diop. -“The giants of the internet, big winners from the Covid19 crisis” by Alan Smith.” - “Telecoms and covid19 in Morocco”, by Ahmed Khaouja and published in the magazine entitled “Industrie du Maroc” in May 2020. - “Understanding 5G in ten points” by René Serres. Aside from the main thematic, let me tell you my personal adventure experienced during this pandemic period, in last November, during my trip between Casa and Istanbul.

In the ICT section, we provide you one article in French. “The impact of the internet on the classic media” of Soundous Tounsi.

In the open forum, we published two articles in French language. The first one is entitled: " The so-called freedom maratons" by Ata-ilah Khaouja and the second concerns: “The informal sector, a black hole in the Moroccan economy” by Ahmed Elhanafi. In the innovation section, and as a corporate citizen, LTE Magazine provides you an extract from the interview we conducted with Mr. Alain Grandjean, polytechnic engineer and expert in "global warming" at the celebration of the fifth anniversary of the Paris Climate Agreement that was held in December 2020. Mr. Alain Grandjean is a distinguished expert in Energy-Climate issues and he is a co-founder of the Carbone 4 firm. He has participated in several works on the subject. Among its work is the report entitled “Mobilize funding for the climate” which was cowritten with Mr. Pascal CANFIN at the request of the French Republic President.

In the “Events” section, we provide you with several current and timely information. In this section we would like to present Lte magazine’s congratulations to Mr. Mounir Ghogho, professor at the International University of Rabat in Morocco, who was ranked among the top 2% of the world's most influential scientists in research and to Ms. Hajar Mousannif, who is Doctor, telecom engineer (INPT) and lecturer in the “Computer Science” Department at the Faculty of Sciences Semlalia (Cadi Ayyad University in Marrakech) who won the 1st international “Women Tech” prize. You will also find recent videos which have enriched our media library as well as other relevant information to be discovered in the other sections. Finally, in the next LTE magazine, 35th issue, we are glad to inform you that we will deal with a highly topical subject namely towards accelerating the FTTH deployment with the covid19 pandemic.
