Tawal to support comms for entertainment destinations across Saudi Arabia
Tawal, a leading Saudi telecommunications and IT infrastructure company, has entered into a strategic agreement with Saudi Entertainment Ventures (SEVEN), part of Qiddiya Investment Company (QIC), a wholly owned Public Investment Fund (PIF) entity that develops and operates entertainment destinations.

The partnership aims to establish neutral digital infrastructure across all SEVEN entertainment destinations in Saudi Arabia.

One of many deals announced during the recent LEAP conference, a global platform for technology and innovation, the agreement focuses on developing the internal and external infrastructure for SEVEN's 21 entertainment destinations across Saudi Arabia.

This includes the design, management, operation and maintenance of a neutral infrastructure compatible with all telecom operators. The infrastructure will feature indoor coverage systems (IBS), multi-band antenna distribution systems, and neutral communication towers at SEVEN destinations.

Designed with flexibility and future scalability in mind, the infrastructure, say the partners, will enhance the capabilities of 4G and 5G networks, support the Internet of Things (IoT), and enable advanced ICT services, contributing to an improved digital experience for visitors to SEVEN's destinations, offering seamless connectivity and enriched digital engagement.

SEVEN aims to develop and operating 21 entertainment destinations in 14 cities around the country with investments of more than SAR50 billion (about US$13.3 billion). These destinations, says SEVEN, will feature world-class, innovative, and unique experiences, alongside strategic global partnerships in the entertainment sector.

Tawal has a huge portfolio of telecom towers, comprising more than 21,000 communication towers. Its operations extend to many countries in the Asia and Europe.
