\nOpensignal announced in a recent report that Zain KSA won all three awards of the Saudi Arabia 5G User Experience report on Best 5G Download Speed, Best 5G Availability, and Best Download Speed Experience – 5G Users.
\nOpensignal, the independent global standard for analyzing real-world mobile experience, has announced that Zain KSA is the Kingdom\u2019s leading telecom operator in Opensignal\u2019s Saudi Arabia 5G User Experience report (January 2021). \u201cZain won all three of our 5G experience awards (5G Availability, 5G Download Speed, and Download Speed Experience – 5G Users) outright and by impressive margins,\u201d Opensignal stated.
\nAccording to the report, which quantifies the real-world 5G experience in Saudi Arabia for the first time, Zain KSA\u2019s 5G users saw much faster 5G speeds than 5G users on peer operators. Zain KSA achieved a 374 Mbps average 5G Download Speed overtaking its peers by over 43%. Where 5G Download speed is measured by testing the typical content delivery networks used to host popular mobile apps and websites.
\nZain KSA also ranked first in the 5G Availability indicator, scoring an impressive 28.4%, which is at least 7.1% points higher than time spent on peer operator\u2019s 5G network. This means Zain KSA\u2019s 5G users spent more than a quarter of their time connected to 5G, far more than users of any other operator in the Kingdom, as well as in several developed countries.
\nIn parallel, in the Download Speed Experience – 5G Users indicator, the Kingdom\u2019s 5G users saw the fastest overall download speed on Zain KSA\u2019s network averaging 268 Mbps, far ahead of the speeds clocked up by peer operators. The indicator measures the complete average download speed that users have experienced with both a 5G-capable smartphone and access to a 5G network, taking into account the average 3G and 4G Download Speed, as well as their actual 5G download speed using a 5G connection, as well as the amount of time they are connected to each type of network.
\nOpensignal dubbed Zain KSA\u2019s performance as an \u201cimpressive achievement that demonstrates (the operator\u2019s) 5G success,\u201d noting that through its suitably ambitious 5G rollout, Zain KSA was able to transform its mobile experience especially in terms of speed and availability observed by users.
\nThe report indicated that Zain KSA\u2019s \u201cstrong 5G availability score is a contributing factor to the Kingdom\u2019s success at the international level for this measure of the mobile experience.\u201d Opensignal revealed that Saudi Arabia achieved an impressive record for 5G Availability globally in a recent observation of the 5G experience across 15 leading 5G countries.
\nThe new acclamation adds to a list of milestones that Zain KSA\u2019s 5G network has achieved, mainly owing to a well-planned infrastructure investment and an operational strategy that balances growth, innovation, and expansion, which enabled Zain KSA to rollout the largest 5G network in the Middle East, Europe, and Africa, and the fourth largest 5G network in the world.
\nSince its inception in the Kingdom, Zain KSA\u2019s 5G network has expanded to cover 50 cities via +4,700 towers providing the best and fastest 5G experience through the 5G Carrier Aggregation feature that enables 5G speeds up to 2.4 Gbps, and which Zain KSA was the first telecom operator in the world to offer.
\nCommenting on the new milestone, CEO of Zain KSA, Eng. Sultan Bin AbdulAziz AlDeghaither, said: \u201cOnce again, Zain KSA proves its digital leadership as confirmed by prestigious global entities. Such achievements motivate us to continue the journey of development and expansion that Zain KSA has always maintained, even under the most difficult circumstances, inspired by the aspirations of the Kingdom\u2019s astute leadership and Saudi Vision 2030, which drive us to achieve the best for our people and our economy.\u201d
\nAlDeghaither continued, \u201cWe uphold our firm commitment to be pioneers of innovation and to lead the generation of the fourth industrial revolution, and to support our beloved Kingdom\u2019s pursuit of a broad digital transformation, economic diversification, and higher competitiveness, all while improving the quality of life and empowering society.\u201d He added: \u201cWe are confident that developing Zain KSA\u2019s 5G network services and expanding its geographic coverage will unlock unlimited growth opportunities in the fields of Artificial Intelligence, the Internet of Things and other futuristic technologies.\u201d
\nNotably, Opensignal\u2019s report is the latest achievement of Zain KSA\u2019s 5G network which has been hailed locally, regionally, and internationally since its launch. The company recently won Ookla\u2019s SpeedTest awards for Saudi Arabia\u2019s \u201cfastest fixed Internet\u201d during H1 and H2 2020. Additionally, Zain KSA won three accolades during the Telecom Review Leaders\u2019 Summit, for \u201cBest 5G User Growth,\u201d \u201cBest 5G Infrastructure Deployment,\u201d and \u201cBest Cloud Provider.\u201d Locally, Zain KSA outperformed other operators in “Meqyas”, published by the Communications and Information Technology Commission (CITC) where in its Q3 2020 report, Zain KSA ranked first in four indicators: fixed internet speed, 5G deployment across regions, 5G deployment across governorates, and lowest latency to most played video games.<\/p>\n
