New 450MHz network to boost industrial connectivity in Saudi Arabia
Aramco Digital, the technology arm of Saudi oil company Aramco, plans to launch a national industrial communications network using the 450MHz band in Saudi Arabia. The network is aimed at supporting industrial connectivity across the kingdom, serving sectors that need wide-area, reliable links for operations and monitoring.
Operating in the 450MHz band typically allows signals to travel further and penetrate buildings and infrastructure more effectively than higher frequencies. Aramco Digital’s move is part of a broader push to upgrade industrial communications in the country, though detailed rollout timelines, coverage targets and specific use cases were not disclosed in the excerpt.
