Tawal and Rakuten launch cloud RAN in Saudi
Tawal and Rakuten Symphony have launched the first jointly operated, multi-operator internal network based on Cloud RAN technology in the Kingdom, within the premises of King Abdullah University of Science and Technology in Jeddah, during the LEAP 2026 conference. The project aims to develop the Kingdom's digital infrastructure through a neutral host model, allowing telecommunications operators to run their networks independently on a unified architecture, while ensuring support for 5G services and artificial intelligence technologies. The connection to the core network has been completed, and the first voice call was successfully made using 5G NR and VoLTE technologies, confirming the system’s readiness to achieve higher efficiency and reduce capital and operational costs, while supporting future expansion of network services.
