STC announced the success of all advanced technical tests for the fifth generation technology to reach high levels in the network speed (more than 70 gigabits per second). The launch was part of the STC’s strategy to lead the technological development to provide modern and advanced services. This is the first event of its kind in the Middle East and North Africa.
STC also completed the upgrade for the one of the most important submarine cables (SMW4 - IMEWE - EIG) which link the Indian subcontinent with the east and south of Asia and middle east, and passing by north Africa all the way to Europe. Such upgrade will raise the efficiency and reliability of the international network to better serve company’s clients.
