Nokia says the recent launch of 5G with Zain in KSA plays an\nimportant role contributing to the government\u2019s National Transformation Plan\n2020 and Saudi Vision 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Zain and Nokia have been working together on 5G in KSA since\nthe companies signed a Memorandum of Understanding back in 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In June 2019, the companies firmed up the relationship with\na three-year, end-to-end contract to roll-out 5G to 4,000 sites, then in\nOctober 2019 they launched their 5G networks and services that covered multiple\ncities including Jeddah and the holy city of Mekkah. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This saw the Zain-Nokia partnership rolling out more than 1,000\n5G sites in the three-month period. The first phase of 5G deployment will provide\na network of 2,000 sites to cover a total of 26 Saudi cities by the end of\n2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As well as enhancing mobile broadband services in KSA, the ultra-high bandwidth and low-latency 5G network provided by Zain will enable new applications and services offering advanced industrial automation, improved education, healthcare, entertainment and immersive Virtual Reality services, similar to the services offered at Hajj this year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is central to a wider national strategy designed to\nimprove the digital infrastructure and digital life of the country and will\nensure widespread socio-economic benefits across KSA.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
