Mobily and Huawei enter new Smart Network Initiative

Mobily and Huawei have signed a strategic contract to launch a new Smart Network Initiative in Saudi Arabia with the aim of enhancing the overall user experience for Mobily customers and increase the telco’s revenue.

The agreement will see Mobily and Huawei cooperate on a series of business and market research initiatives over the coming five years including the exploration of more business scenarios that Mobily believes could boost its network capabilities. The initiative will also explore ways in which Mobily can further maximise the value of its existing network assets to drive greater intelligence and efficiency across the organisation, raising revenue opportunities.

Mobily and Huawei ran a similar trial project over a three-month period in the beginning of 2013, looking at how the Smart Network Initiative could enhance Mobily’s service capabilities.

Mobily and Huawei have continued to expand their strategic relationship in recent years with several landmark projects for the region. Last year the two companies deployed the industry’s first commercial 400G IP Core Network in Saudi Arabia designed to bring a more diversified and efficient service experience to customers.
