This move is in continuation with STC Group’s leadership in MENA and introduction of its service to both Kuwait and Bahrain.
“STC and Nokia Siemens have enjoyed a longstanding strategic relationship, which is promising to move ahead toward more expansion in the coming days, STC Group CEO for Technical Operations Zeyad Thamer Al-Otaibi said, adding that user experience with 4G is much more enhanced and satisfactory as compared to traditional mobile broadband technologies.”
With more and more subscribers using bandwidth-intensive applications for smart phones, STC decided to modernize our existing GSM and 3G networks, he said.
“The contract comes as an extension and reiteration of our commitment to 4G in the world and as we consider STC as our long-standing partner,” Igor Leprince, head of the Middle East region at Nokia Siemens Networks, said.
“We’re delighted to bring 4G services to STC customers,” he added.
“Our expertise in 4G technology and strong service support have helped STC deliver on its plans to modernize its nationwide network and roll out 4G services faster,” he said.
The agreement includes modernizing administrative system’s network, which has been deployed by STC to effectively monitor, manage and operate GSM networks, especially 3G and 4G.
