This collaboration aims to jointly promote the utilization of new spectrums, deploy an Advanced 5.5G network, implement FWA 2.0 home broadband strategy, foster IoT development, integrate network intelligence, and significantly enhance stc Bahrain’s capability in the 2B segment.
At the Barcelona MWC 2024, stc and Huawei have officially announced the signing of two Memoranda of Understanding (MoU) for the development of a 5.5G Network, and service innovation, alongside 2B digital transformation. This partnership signifies the collective resolve to spearhead innovation in telecommunications technologies and services on a global scale.
The ceremony was attended by Nezar Banabeela, CEO of stc Bahrain, and AnJian, President of Pricing Center at Huawei. Utilizing the new spectrum is the main focus of this collaboration.
Central to this collaboration, the 5.5G target network will establish the standards for the next-generation communication network. Leveraging Huawei’s technologies and expertise, stc plans to construct a more intelligent, flexible, and efficient network. This network aims to enhance user experience and support innovative business scenarios such as augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), ultra-high-definition video, and low latency services.
In IoT, both parties will collaborate on developing forward-thinking intelligent IoT solutions. These solutions aim to foster smarter cities, homes, and businesses. Through Huawei’s IoT solutions and stc’s network capabilities, the partners will jointly explore new business models in fields such as Redcap and P-IoT, among others.
The signing of the MoU not only heralds a new era in the 5.5G landscape but also inaugurates a new chapter for the future development of the entire telecom industry. Also, stc and Huawei will jointly integrate AI and machine learning technologies to enhance network automation and intelligence. This initiative not only boosts the efficiency of network operations but also offers users more personalized services.
