Egypt establishes 1st infrastructure to provide IoT services

Telecom Egypt signed a cooperation agreement with the global Nokia Corporation with the aim of establishing the first infrastructure in Egypt to provide Internet of Things (IoT) services through Nokia's global network (WING).

The (WING) network allows Telecom Egypt to provide Internet of Things services to companies on a global scale, enabling them to benefit from the rapidly and effectively growing Internet of Things market based on the Nokia model, according to a statement from the Ministry of Communications on Monday.

WING also enables Telecom Egypt to provide global IoT service at low local prices compared to the more expensive roaming rates.

The agreement also includes cooperation in launching joint marketing initiatives and accelerating the development of Internet of Things projects in the country, which will contribute to the automation of projects and help companies reduce their operating expenses, enhance productivity, and bring new services to market faster.
