WiMax is a big deal, wherever you are in the world. This next generation communications technology makes many new products available. In the Middle East, Samsung and Bayanat Al-Oula have teamed up. Together, the two companies are building the largest WiMAX network in the region.

According to the agreement, Samsung will supply Mobile WiMAX equipment and devices to Bayanat Al-Oula over a two year period beginning in 2007. This partnership will result in the largest Mobile WiMAX deployment in the Middle East region. Bayanat Al-Oula plans to launch commercial services based upon Mobile WiMAX technology in four major cities; Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, and Makkah in 2007. Services will then be expanded nationwide.

It’s hoped that the joint project will help stimulate growth in the region. Mobile WiMAX is the ideal solution for establishing both broadband data and voice communications in the Middle East, overcoming the region’s geographical challenges. Thanks to its’ wireless connectivity and communications capabilities, an increase of Mobile WiMAX adoption is expected in other Middle East nations following the imminent commercialization of Mobile WiMAX with Bayanat Al-Oula.
