This helps telecom operators to provide IoT and other technologies like traffic lights automation, traffic cameras, smart meters and others.
Al-Sayegh added that Mobily provided integrated infrastructure to some cities by integrating it with FTTH network, and despite higher CAPEX cost, but it has provided these cities with the potential of complete technical transformation, which is in line with Saudi Vision 2030.
