5G connectivity promises a greater user experience with its high bandwidth combined with massive MIMO technology to provide users with Gbps data rates. However, in large open areas such as sports stadiums, convention centers and railway stations with a high user density, such Gbps experience can suffer owing to interference in radio signals. A ubiquitous and consistent service for such areas can have many takers and open up investments opportunities for improved network infrastructure and coverage given the digitalising of critical sectors.

KSA awarded G5 regulator status by ITU
Saudi Arabia has been recognized as the fifth-generation (G5) regulator by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU), the United Nations body responsible for activities related to information and communication technologies (ICT).
Bridging the digital divide wirelessly
Over the last 2 decades, the internet has become an integral part of our lives and it is hard to imagine life without it. However, out of the 7.8 billion world population, 46% remain off the grid. At a time when the advancement of digitalization is opening business opportunities and enhancing communication, making internet connectivity available in hard-to-reach locations warrants a wholehearted approach by both public and private organizations of every nation.
Demands and benefits of regulating 6 GHz band
Regulating the spectrum is vital to the mobility and connectivity surging within today’s data-heavy and tech-savvy generation. Allocation of spectrum through licenses guarantees flexibility to regulators to secure the best usage of the spectrum in society, and enables operators to offer innovative services with predictable quality service.
How does cryptography in the cloud work?
The world we have today is quickly turning to the cloud for various purposes such as hosting applications and services, SD-WAN, big data analytics, storage, and backup recovery, among others. Hence, the global cloud computing market is expected to be valued at over $620 billion by 2023, with global spending on cloud services to reach $1 trillion in 2024.
