Saudi Arabia's Aramco signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Samsung Electronics to localize industrial 5G communication networks and facilitate digital transformation.
 
The proposed collaboration aims to contribute to the digital transformation of various industrial sectors in Saudi Arabia — such as energy, petrochemical, and manufacturing, the kingdom's state oil firm said through a press release on Friday.
 
Under the MOU, Aramco and Samsung Electronics will leverage advanced 4G and 5G technologies which are capable of providing fast, secure and reliable communication to satisfy business critical requirements of industries.
 
The companies intend to help realize advanced industrial 5G use cases with mission critical communications that will enhance safety and operational efficiency. This is in line with the recent launch of Aramco Digital Company, which aims to accelerate digital transformation within Saudi Arabia, the Middle East and North Africa region.
