STC deploys Ericsson Zero Site solution in Riyadh

Saudi Telecom Company (STC) and Ericsson KSA have collaborated to deploy the world’s first Zero Site in Riyadh that will provide seamless mobile communication in highly congested areas of the city. This represents the world’s first deployment of this innovative radio site solution using Ericsson’s Zero Site solution structure.

The Zero Site solution, capable of being deployed in just one day due to its flexible structure, enables STC to provide its customers with superior network coverage in urban areas of the city.

The general concept of the Zero Site is to integrate small cell solutions with street light poles, which enables mass deployment of complete solutions with optimal urban coverage but minimum visual impact. It is a fully encapsulated solution for outdoor site deployments.
