ST Engineering iDirect, a global leader in satellite communications, has announced a strategic partnership with solutions by stc, the enterprise division of Saudi Telecom Company (stc), to enhance satellite connectivity across Saudi Arabia. This collaboration is set to significantly improve the Kingdom’s digital infrastructure, supporting both government and enterprise sectors in alignment with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 initiative, which focuses on digital transformation and economic diversification.
The partnership will leverage ST Engineering iDirect’s advanced satellite ground infrastructure, including its Dialog® platform and iQ series of remotes, to provide scalable, flexible, and high-performance connectivity. This technology will enable solutions by stc to offer cost-effective and reliable services across a range of applications such as remote enterprise connectivity, oil and gas operations, smart city deployments, and emergency response systems. The integration of these advanced satellite solutions will ensure widespread and resilient coverage, even in the most remote and underserved areas of the Kingdom.
One of the key benefits of the Dialog® platform is its ability to support multiple service profiles on a single platform, allowing solutions by stc to cater to diverse customer needs efficiently. Additionally, the use of DVB-S2X technology and Mx-DMA® (multi-frequency time division multiple access) return technology ensures optimal bandwidth efficiency and quality of service, which is crucial for mission-critical applications.
This initiative is seen as a critical step in expanding Saudi Arabia’s digital reach, particularly in regions where terrestrial connectivity is limited or non-existent. It aligns with solutions by stc‘s mission to be a leading ICT enabler in the region and underscores ST Engineering iDirect’s commitment to empowering connectivity through innovation and partnerships.
Both companies have emphasized the strategic importance of this collaboration. While solutions by stc gains access to a robust satellite infrastructure to support its growing customer base, ST Engineering iDirect strengthens its presence in the Middle East by partnering with one of the region’s most prominent telecom providers.
The partnership between ST Engineering iDirect and solutions by stc is poised to transform Saudi Arabia’s satellite communication landscape. By delivering high-capacity, reliable, and flexible connectivity solutions, the collaboration supports national goals and facilitates digital inclusivity, economic growth, and innovation across various sectors in the Kingdom.
