Zain KSA teams up with Huawei to roll out their new Riyadh Antenna Platform across Saudi Arabia. The telecom company named this high-tech antenna after the Kingdom's capital city. This cutting-edge gear helps Saudi Arabia move closer to its Vision 2030 goals. The timing comes right after Zain KSA grabbed 30 MHz of valuable spectrum during a recent government auction. Saudi Arabia leads all G20 nations when it comes to mobile frequency allocation.
The Riyadh Antenna looks completely different from old-school flat panel antennas. Engineers built this one with a round cylinder shape that cuts wind resistance down dramatically. The new design shrinks the antenna's wind-catching area between 30 and 60 percent compared to older models. Companies can put these antennas in windy spots where they never could before. The smaller size means lower costs for mounting and faster setup times.
Multiple antenna arrays pack into one sleek cylinder measuring just 2.0 meters tall. Traditional panel antennas stretch out to 2.6 meters and take up way more space. Operators can control these antennas from far away using built-in sensors and remote steering technology. The system adjusts antenna direction both up and down and side to side without sending repair crews to climb towers. Mohammed Al Nujaidi from Zain KSA and Andy Sun from Huawei both praised this technology breakthrough for transforming wireless networks across the region.
