UAE masjid goes Hi Tech

jumeirah mosque
The General Authority of Islamic Affairs & Endowment (GAIAE), through the leadership of His Highness, Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the president of the UAE, is set to implement the very first centralised digital signage system in mosques across the UAE in order to promote awareness of Islamic moderation in line with the country’s strategic plan. Alpha Data, a leading systems integrator, has been chosen to deploy the system. A replicating software has been installed that will distribute information for the signage from a central location.
In the first phase, Alpha Data is set to change the software and GSM module of the existing LCD screens from 300 mosques across the UAE. In the second phase, Alpha Data will install 250 LCD screens in mosques across the country which will be controlled from a central location via a replicating software which organises content and distribution.

These LCD screens will display

specific occasions,

prayer timings,

verses,

morals and greetings,

these LCD screens will also be used to present live lectures from main mosques in the country

It will also serve as video conference facilities for the imam’s meetings.

Each LCD screen has a built-in PC facility and GSM (Global System for Mobile communication) module and will be connected to the main server located in the control room at the GAIAE office. All information entered in the main server will automatically be updated on every LCD in the mosques nationwide.
Well I hope it doesn't disturb the worshippers .
