During MWC Barcelona 2024, Kuwait Telecommunications Company (stc) and Huawei signed an MoU on deepening 5.5G strategic cooperation and business monetization.

Based on 5.5G joint innovation, the two companies will work together to build 5.5G-based intelligent wireless networks, and incubate 5.5G-related new services for consumers, homes, and businesses, growing the maturity of the 5.5G industry and ecosystem.

According to the MoU, stc and Huawei will deepen strategic cooperation on 5.5G technology innovation and business monetization to build intelligent wireless networks and integrate cross-domain data.

This aims to build a network security architecture to protect digital assets from threats.

To monetize 5.5G, stc and Huawei will further explore and incubate new ToC and ToH applications, and launch new services based on network capabilities to drive 5G user growth. In terms of ToB, the two companies will launch customized smart office solutions for SMEs, and incubate vertical applications in the oil and gas industry.
