KUALA LUMPUR, March 1 (Bernama) -- Saudi Telecom Company (STC) and Cisco Systems Inc. have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) 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 to support the pivotal role in enabling Saudi Arabia's 2030 Vision and National Transformation Plan.
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.
The MoU was signed at the Mobile World Congress by STC chief operating officer, Nasser Al-Nasser, and managing director of Global Service Provider Sales, Cisco Middle East and Africa, Ali Amer.
Under the MoU, Cisco intends to work closely with STC on its architectural transformation to help unlock the commercial potential of 5G mobile networks.
"As businesses increasingly digitise, mobile carriers will need the speed, low latency, reliability and dynamic provisioning capabilities that 5G networks are expected to deliver," said Ali.
"Our collaboration with STC will enable their network infrastructure to evolve into the new era of digitisation by taking advantage of the 5G momentum," he added.
Also, 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.
