The company, through this project, provided telecom services and broadband data transmission to each of the provinces of Aldayer, Darb and Raith in Jazan Region, and all provinces in Al-Jawf region (Qurayat, Dawmat Al-Jandal and Sakaka) and all provinces in the Northern Borders region (Arar, Rafha and Turaif).
The company said it had completed the entire project covering about 550 villages of these provinces via the setting up of 170 sites. Through this project, the company has had its services reach more than 175,000 people.
Zain KSA Chief Operations Officer Ahmed Al-Faifi thanked the Communications and Information Technology Commission (CITC) for selecting Zain KSA to implement half of the total USF projects, after the company won USF Projects II, having achieved great high speeds and affordable prices.
Al-Faifi said that although the company supported its network in all provinces with (3G) high-speed technology, it has also provided higher speeds than those required in some areas in order to provide the best telecom services and data transmission to users of its state-of-the-art network in the Kingdom.
He also indicated that the second USF project awarded to Zain KSA comes in line with government guidelines for comprehensive strategic development, providing telephone and broadband Internet services to all regions and all segments of society, under direct supervision of the CITC.
Al-Faifi also said Zain KSA participation in UDF projects, was based on its desire to contribute effectively in the deployment of telecommunications services and the transfer of broadband data in the largest number of remote areas.
