Zain KSA to launch world’s 1st zero-carbon 5G network in Red Sea

Zain Saudi Arabia has partnered with Red Sea Global (RSG), the developer behind the tourism projects The Red Sea and Amaala to launch a zero-carbon 5G network at the Six Senses Southern Dunes resort within The Red Sea.

The project will achieve three primary goals: preserving the environment, reducing emissions by utilising renewable energy, and mitigating visual distortion, according to Zain’s statement on Sunday.

The 5G network is designed to bring high-speed connectivity in the region, as it will be powered by renewable energy with over 760,000 solar panels that RSG has built to power the entire 28,000 square kilometre destination.
