Vodafone Business IoT expands its IoT connectivity footprint in the Middle East through its partnership with Mobily

Vodafone Business IoT is partnering with Mobily – a leading Saudi technology, media, and telecommunications company – to offer IoT connectivity services in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. As a result, Vodafone Business IoT’s customers will now be able to deploy their connected IoT devices to more places in the Middle East.

This new agreement means that Mobily will grant Vodafone Business IoT’s customers access to its extensive network coverage in the country. This means that IoT customers installing and operating connected devices using the Vodafone Global SIM+ will have reliable and secure connectivity that complies with local regulatory requirements.

By leveraging Vodafone Business IoT’s innovative Global SIM+ eSIM proposition, customers are now able to take advantage of seamless cross-border connectivity, making it easier and more efficient for them to connect their devices globally. The collaboration with Mobily leverages Vodafone’s extensive IoT expertise and Mobily’s network capabilities to provide a best-in-class service for customers and partners globally.
