How STC & Wewins Enable Operator-Grade Connectivity Under Vision 2030
Partnering for Progress: Delivering Next-Gen 5G Fixed Wireless Access at National Scale
Case Overview
As Saudi Arabia accelerates its national digital transformation under Vision 2030, telecom operators face growing pressure to deliver high-speed, reliable broadband services across both urban centers and underserved regions. Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) has emerged as a critical technology to bridge connectivity gaps, enabling rapid broadband deployment where traditional fiber infrastructure is limited or costly.
This case study highlights how STC, Saudi Arabia's leading telecommunications operator, partnered with Wewins, a specialized ODM focused on 5G FWA solutions, to deploy an operator-grade 5G FWA platform supporting both residential and SME broadband services. Since 2023, the collaboration has centered on enhancing network scalability, simplifying deployment, and delivering consistent, high-performance connectivity nationwide.
Partnering for National-Scale Connectivity
In the evolving digital landscape of Saudi Arabia, reliable and high-speed internet access has become a cornerstone of economic growth and digital inclusion. With more than 1.5 million 5G subscribers, STC plays a pivotal role in advancing nationwide connectivity and supporting the Kingdom's long-term digital infrastructure goals.
Transforming this vision into operational reality requires more than network coverage alone—it demands robust, carrier-grade customer premises equipment (CPE) and trusted technology partnerships. As a leading ODM specializing in Fixed Wireless Access solutions, Wewins serves as a strategic technology enabler, supporting STC's efforts to deliver scalable, future-ready 5G broadband services across diverse user segments.
Addressing Diverse Connectivity Needs with a Unified FWA Solution
One of the key challenges faced by large-scale operators like STC is serving a highly diverse customer base.
- Residential users demand seamless streaming, online gaming, and smart home connectivity.
- SMEs rely on stable, high-capacity networks to support cloud services, video conferencing, and digital operations.
Traditional one-size-fits-all broadband solutions are no longer sufficient to meet these varied requirements. To address this challenge, STC adopted the C082, Wewins' flagship 5G FWA solution, engineered to deliver flexibility, performance, and long-term reliability within a unified hardware platform.
The C082: Powering STC’s 5G FWA Strategy
More than a gateway device, the C082 functions as a comprehensive 5G FWA connectivity platform, enabling STC to support both consumer and enterprise-grade service scenarios.
Key Capabilities
Exceptional Performance Across Use Cases
Leveraging STC's advanced 5G network, the C082 delivers fiber-like speeds and ultra-low latency, supporting 4K/8K streaming, responsive online gaming, and bandwidth-intensive business applications.
Dual-Service Capability for Residential and SME Users
Designed to efficiently manage complex traffic loads and multiple connected devices, the C082 ensures consistent performance across smart homes and growing business environments.
Reliability and Extended Coverage by Design
Built for stability and wide-area coverage, the solution enables STC to extend high-quality broadband services to regions where fiber deployment is constrained, supporting broader network reach and service continuity.
Future-Ready, Operator-Friendly Archieecture
With a strong focus on integration, remote management, and scalability, the C082 aligns with STC's long-term network evolution strategy, providing a solid foundation for future service innovation.
Operator-Grade Validation and Deployment
Prior to commercial rollout, the C082 underwent rigorous operator-level validation, including:
- Laboratory testing
- Field trials
- Network compatibility assessments
These evaluations ensured full alignment with STC's 5G network architecture, performance benchmarks, and service stability requirements, supporting a smooth and scalable deployment across both residential and SME scenarios.
Deployment Outcomes
Through the deployment of Wewins' C082 5G FWA solution, STC established a unified broadband access platform capable of supporting nationwide consumer and SME services.
Key Results
- Rapid expansion of 5G FWA coverage in non-fiber areas
- Maintained carrier-grade performance, reliability, and scalability
- Reduced operational complexity through simplified device management
- Accelerated time-to-market for new broadband offerings
This future-ready deployment lays a strong foundation for continued network expansion and service evolution.
A Shared Vision for Long-Term Impact
“Collaborating with a visionary leader like STC is a strong affirmation of our product capability and shared commitment to innovation,” said a spokesperson for Wewins. “The deployment of the C082 allows us to contribute directly to Saudi Arabia's digital infrastructure goals, helping STC deliver reliable, high-performance connectivity to millions of users while enabling sustainable business growth.”
This partnership demonstrates how close collaboration between a forward-thinking operator and a dedicated technology enabler can accelerate national digital agendas. By deploying the C082 5G FWA solution, STC is not only addressing today's connectivity challenges, but also building a resilient foundation for a smarter, more connected future.
