Aramco Digital, the technology subsidiary of Saudi Aramco, is preparing to launch the Kingdom’s national industrial communications network operating in the 450MHz band.
The network is designed to deliver secure and highly reliable connectivity for industries that depend on continuous operations and resilient communications across critical assets and facilities.
As part of the rollout, Aramco Digital will introduce a portfolio of 450MHz-based industrial digital solutions, including sector-specific connectivity packages and a new generation of smart radios built for demanding industrial environments.
These smart radios combine rugged, industrial-grade design with advanced capabilities such as AI, enhanced sensing, extended battery life through improved energy efficiency, and real-time data processing at the device level.
The network will support a wide range of industrial IoT use cases, including asset condition and performance monitoring, fleet and equipment tracking, air quality and environmental sensing, smart video surveillance, metering, lighting and infrastructure control, and industrial mobility solutions.
According to Aramco Digital, these capabilities will improve operational transparency, enable automation, and drive efficiency across both industrial and service sectors.
The launch follows regulatory milestones achieved in 2024, when the Saudi Arabian Communications, Space & Technology Commission granted Aramco Digital a Specialised Radio Network Licence in the 450MHz band, followed by approval to provide specialised wireless telecommunications services.
