OOKLA, the Global Internet Broadband Speed test company, has awarded STC with the ‘Fastest Mobile Network in KSA’ award.
STC achieved a speed score of 29.99 Mbps, with average download speeds of 32.95 Mbps.
This is the outcome from millions of tests which are actively initiated by consumers daily across the network to test the Internet speeds using various applications and platforms.
The speed test awards for top providers are determined using a speed score that incorporates a measure of each providers network speeds (download and upload) to rank network speed performance.
Despite STC’s success it has plans to further increase speed in the next couple of years to incorporate future services with KPIs targeting higher data rates, low latency, massive device connectivity, IoT and energy efficiency services.
To achieve this, STC is transforming its existing network, upgrading its 4G-LTE network and rolling out 5G network.
Eng. Haithem Al Faraj, Senior VP, Tech and Ops, STC, said: “Our mission has always been to enrich society by providing second-to-none experience with the network. We are continuously improving our network speeds and rolling out new network technologies and services.
“STC 4G network is transforming all the time to provide remarkably faster speeds. We are also commercially rolling out the 5G network to introduce innovative services to our deserving customers in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and across the region.
“This OOKLA esteemed award is a true manifestation of STC efforts to continually improve the network and get the network ready for the total digitisation transformation era, and to meet the KSA National 2030 Vision.
“We are very proud of this award and look forward to many similar awards and successes in the near future.”
