Riyadh - Sharikat Mubasher: Zain KSA, a leading telecom provider in the Saudi ICT sector, and Huawei launched the Riyadh Antenna platform, a revolutionary innovation designed to meet the unique needs of the Saudi telecommunications market.
The launch of the new platform reflects the Kingdom’s achievements in digital transformation, in alignment with Vision 2030, the company announced in a recent statement.
The Riyadh Antenna was tailored to adapt to the Kingdom’s market changes, stringent requirements, and cutting-edge technologies. It came in the wake of the recent landmark Spectrum Auction by the Communications, Space and Technology Commission (CST), where Zain KSA secured 30 MHz in the 600 MHz frequency band.
Expected to accelerate the Kingdom’s digital infrastructure and promote its competitiveness, the Riyadh Antenna represents a significant departure from traditional panel antennas through its adoption of a cylindrical design, aimed at addressing several critical challenges faced by network operators.
The platform features an innovative cylindrical design that reduces EPA and wind load, multiple antenna arrays in a compact form factor, compact and space-efficient deployment, and enhanced operational efficiency and maintenance.
Mohammed Al Nujaidi, CTO at Zain KSA, said: “We are proud to launch the Riyadh Antenna Platform, an innovation that not only reflects our beloved capital’s name but also highlights Saudi Arabia’s pioneering position globally and regionally.”
He stated that the partnership with Huawei reflects Zain KSA’s commitment to leading digital transformation in line with Vision 2030 and delivering exceptional experiences for customers.
Meanwhile, Andy Sun, President of Huawei Antenna Business Unit, commented: “Huawei is willing to work with Zain KSA to innovate solutions, ensure that Zain KSA continuously provides optimal user experience, and support the vision 2030 of digital transformation.”
The Riyadh Antenna underscores Zain KSA and Huawei’s shared dedication to leveraging advanced technology for sustainable, efficient, and cutting-edge telecommunications solutions that benefit the Kingdom and its people.
