Zain KSA announced the launch of the carrier aggregation feature for its 5G network, which enables ultra-fast Internet speeds of up to 2.4 Gbps, in line with releasing the latest 5G router that supports this technology and the WiFi 6+ technology that enables hi-speed wireless networks. Zain KSA is the world\u2019s first telecom operator to provide carrier aggregation to its customers, a clear indication to the company\u2019s global position in innovation and 5G technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Zain KSA\u2019s Chief Technology Officer, Eng. Abdulrahman Bin Hamad AlMufadda said \u201cthe company’s initiative to provide carrier aggregation is at the core of its development strategy aimed at staying abreast of the latest global technologies, particularly in the field of 5G networks. This step also aims to offer Zain KSA\u2019s customers, individuals and institutions across all industries, an original and unique first of its kind internet experience, combining high speeds, superior quality, and high reliability.\u201d He confirmed, \u201cin addition to these features, carrier aggregation will provide network segmentation for the best IoT and online gaming experience in the Kingdom. Zain\u2019s subscribers can directly access this feature through their Huawei CPE Pro 2 5G routers which also support WiFi 6+ network.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This initiative is in line with Zain KSA\u2019s plan to develop and enhance 5G services in Saudi Arabia at two levels: horizontally, by expanding their geographic outreach, as Zain’s 5G network covers 13 administrative regions and 35 cities, and vertically through constantly developing the services. Empowered by its robust infrastructure and the development of its network – the most advanced in the region \u2013, Zain KSA confirms its readiness to continue to expand its 5G coverage at the highest possible level to reach new cities, which it does on a monthly basis by updating the coverage heat maps on its website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Zain KSA\u2019s efforts in this area have resulted in it being recognized as the Kingdom\u2019s first telecom operator, rolling out 5G services in 12 of the 13 administrative regions in the Kingdom thereby achieving the widest reach, according to Meqyas Q2 2020 report issued by the Communications and Information Technology Commission (CITC).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
