ACES will contribute its local R&D capabilities and expertise in wireless systems, while Movandi will bring its technologies in mmWave RF, antennas, beamforming and semiconductors to the partnership.

ACES has already developed an O-RAN-compliant 5G small cell solution in Saudi Arabia, showing its growing R&D capabilities and focus on developing technology locally.

Through the partnership, ACES and Movandi will work together to develop and commercialize mmWave connectivity, O-RAN, 5G small cells, and advanced RF technologies.

The partnership will give Movandi a platform to test and expand its wireless technologies across the region. It will also help ACES offer advanced mmWave and O-RAN solutions to telecom operators and businesses in Saudi Arabia and nearby markets.

“ACES is committed to translating advanced communications technologies into practical, high-performance network solutions through its extensive R&D,” said Dr. Akram Aburas (CEO, ACES). “Our collaboration with Movandi combines complementary technology, R&D and deployment capabilities to accelerate the development, and localization of mmWave, Open RAN, and next-generation 5G and 6G infrastructure in the Kingdom.”

“Saudi Arabia is rapidly building the digital infrastructure required for the next generation of connectivity, and moving from technology innovation to large-scale deployment requires strong local execution,” said Maryam Rofougaran, CEO and co-founder of Movandi. “Movandi’s technology has already been proven through commercial and trial deployments in North America and Asia.
