Saudi Telecom Company (STC) has decided to make investment in Cisco Virtualized Packet Core (VPC) to transform its mobile service delivery model and expand its customer offering in Saudi Arabia.
Cisco VPC will assist STC to address new demands while reducing network capital and operational expenditures.
The telecom network vendor said VPC will allow STC, a leading telecom operator in the Middle East, to accelerate the process of adding new enterprise customers from industries such as healthcare, transportation, retail, banking etc. and launching new applications to market.
