Zain KSA and Huawei successfully test world’s pioneering FWA Gaming Accelerator in Saudi Arabia.

Zain KSA and Huawei team up to introduce FWA Service Turbo, a technology that prioritizes gaming traffic and enhances the gaming experience for wireless broadband users in Saudi Arabia.

Convenient and efficient solution for high-speed internet without traditional fixed-line fiber optic networks
Enhances gaming experience with reduced jitter and latency
Prioritizes gaming traffic and allocates network resources for optimal gaming experience

Zain KSA, one of Saudi Arabia’s top digital service providers, recently teamed up with Huawei to conduct a test at Zain KSA’s headquarters in Riyadh. This joint verification of FWA Gaming Acceleration is a major step forward in ensuring a top-notch gaming experience for wireless broadband users.

So, what exactly is FWA? Well, it stands for Fixed Wireless Access, a technology that extends fixed broadband connections. It uses Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) to receive mobile signals from 5G base stations and convert them into Wi-Fi, providing network access for households. This means you can enjoy high-speed internet without the need for traditional fixed-line fiber optic networks. It’s a convenient and efficient solution, especially in a country like Saudi Arabia with its unique geography and diverse indoor entertainment options.

Now, let’s talk about gaming. Saudi Arabia has a whopping 25 million gamers, and their demands for a high-quality gaming network are on the rise. That’s where the Gaming Acceleration feature, called Service Turbo, comes in. Zain KSA and Huawei have jointly verified this feature, which is specifically designed to enhance the current FWA solution. And boy, does it deliver!

During the proof of concept, the Service Turbo technology demonstrated its ability to ensure high speed and low Latency for gaming services, even under full network load. In fact, it reduced jitter by a whopping 90% and latency by 70% compared to scenarios without this feature. That means gamers can enjoy a smooth and uninterrupted gaming experience, even when the network is busy.

So, how does Service Turbo work its magic? It’s all about prioritizing gaming traffic and allocating network resources accordingly. Huawei’s 5G CPE Pro 5, a piece of equipment used in this process, accurately identifies gaming traffic and then assigns it a dedicated bearer or “slice” in the Huawei Core Network and RAN. This ensures that gaming traffic gets the attention it deserves, with resources allocated specifically for an optimal gaming experience. Not only does this enhance the gaming experience, but it also helps Zain KSA make the most of limited network resources, offering new options to home broadband users in the market.

Eng. Mohammed Abdulaziz AlNujaidi, Zain KSA’s Vice President of Engineering, expressed his excitement about this innovative service. He emphasized that Zain KSA is committed to delivering high-quality connectivity and digital solutions that cater to the tech-savvy lifestyle of Saudi youth. By introducing FWA Service Turbo, Zain KSA is addressing challenges like network instability and latency, and providing differentiated experiences for users in the ever-evolving digital landscape.

Zain KSA has always been at the forefront of FWA innovation, and this latest development is no exception. With its multidimensional network capabilities, from 5G to 5G-A, Zain KSA is setting a new benchmark for wireless home broadband adoption in the Saudi market and beyond. They are dedicated to meeting the diverse network demands of users and ensuring that everyone can enjoy a seamless and exceptional gaming experience.

So, if you’re a gamer in Saudi Arabia, get ready for a whole new level of gaming excellence with Zain KSA’s FWA Service Turbo. Say goodbye to lag and network issues, and say hello to a gaming experience like no other.

Technology Explained

Latency: Technology latency is the time it takes for a computer system to respond to a request. It is an important factor in the performance of computer systems, as it affects the speed and efficiency of data processing. In the computer industry, latency is a major factor in the performance of computer networks, storage systems, and other computer systems. Low latency is essential for applications that require fast response times, such as online gaming, streaming media, and real-time data processing. High latency can cause delays in data processing, resulting in slow response times and poor performance. To reduce latency, computer systems use various techniques such as caching, load balancing, and parallel processing. By reducing latency, computer systems can provide faster response times and improved performance.
