Al-Ghamdi said that Dawiyat Integrated would enable Tawal to connect telecom towers in various regions of the Kingdom using an advanced optical fiber network, which the company has built in accordance with the latest technical standards and international best practices. He said the agreement would contribute to the development of fifth-generation networks and the fourth industrial revolution.
The agreement would also enhance cooperation between the two companies in the field of hosting data centers provided by Dawiyat Integrated, which localize and accelerate digital content data storage in the Kingdom.
The partnership marks the latest step taken by Tawal to accomplish one of its missions that seek to enable its customers — mobile network operators, government entities, and businesses — to enrich their communication needs as well as accelerate the rollout of current and future technologies.
