Saudi Telecom Company (STC) is planning to start commercial operations of 5G network from next year, its CEO Nasser Al Nasser told the Future Investment Initiative (FII) 2018 in Riyadh on Tuesday.

 

"We launched the first live 5G network in the region in May this year, and we are planning for commercial launch next year," he added.

 

The 5G network is expected to make a quantum leap in future services and applications and will contribute to increasing the speed and performance of wireless networks.

 

The 5G will not only affect the efficiency of communication between people and their phones or computers only; it will affect more sophisticated uses such as IOT, AI, and robots.
