Saudi Telecom Company (STC) and Cisco Sign Strategic
MoU to Bring the Benefits of 5G to Saudi Arabia
- STC and
Cisco to collaborate on next-generation network technologies and services

- The two

BARCELONA, Spain, Feb. 27, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE):
Mobile
World Congress — Saudi
Telecom Company (STC) and Cisco today announced they have signed a Memorandum
of Understanding (MoU) and intend to collaborate on the development of 5G
communication systems and networks. The joint effort aims to facilitate STC's
transformation into a digital service provider and supports the pivotal role it
plays in enabling Saudi Arabia's 2030 Vision and National Transformation Plan.
The MoU was signed
at the Mobile World Congress by Nasser Al-Nasser, Chief Operating Officer, STC,
and Ali Amer, Managing Director, Global Service Provider Sales, Cisco Middle
East and Africa. Under the terms of the MoU, Cisco intends to work closely with
STC on its architectural transformation to help unlock the commercial potential
of 5G mobile networks. This will enable STC to provision advanced network
services, such as low-latency, and differentiate its service delivery in the 5G
era.
“We are excited
about the next phase of our evolution which will pave the way for massive
innovation and give rise to a new breed of services that benefit the Saudi
economy,” said Nasser Al-Nasser, Chief Operating Officer, STC. “Our new 5G
network architecture will enable us to make the next leap forward by delivering
inclusive broadband that transforms how people use technology in their daily
lives. We look forward to working closely with Cisco to develop a future-ready
network that delivers advanced capabilities to help us address increasing
customer demands and new service trends.”
The transition to
5G is fundamental for STC’s vision, as it forms the foundation for future
solutions including smart city, IoT and other vertical services. Virtualization
and network automation will play a prominent role in the service provider’s
strategic blueprint, creating the scalable network that supports the creation
of new services in the fastest and most agile way possible.
“As businesses
increasingly digitize, mobile carriers will need the speed, low latency,
reliability and dynamic provisioning capabilities that 5G networks are expected
to deliver,” said Ali Amer, Managing Director, Global Service Provider Sales,
Cisco Middle East and Africa. “Our collaboration with STC will enable their
network infrastructure to evolve into the new era of digitisation by taking
advantage of the 5G momentum.”
The two companies
will also work on developing use cases that accelerate the deployment of new
enterprise and industry 5G services. Another key element of the collaboration
aims to address the security needs of the 5G era by building a framework for
threat intelligence that underpins STC’s prevention, detection and mitigation
efforts.
