DUBAI, United Arab Emirates – 12 November 2018 – At GITEX Technology Week, Cisco Meraki and STC Solutions signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to drive wireless technology adoption and fuel economic growth in-line with Saudi Vision 2030’s digital transformation objectives. The MoU states the two companies plan to work together and develop innovative wireless managed services for the Saudi market, intended to make it easier and more economical for customers to start their digital journeys.
Recognizing the need for sophisticated digital infrastructure, Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 plan foresees to increase the availability and quality of digital connectivity. STC and Cisco Meraki are dedicated to this mission, and will work together to help enable Saudi organizations to quickly deploy simplified wireless solutions with immediate business impacts.
