The 5G and 6G Partnership brings together ACES’ local R&D capabilities with Movandi’s expertise in mmWave RF, antenna, beamforming and semiconductor technologies. ACES has developed capabilities in 5G small cells, open RAN, RF front-end and antenna technologies, digital platforms and next-generation 5G and 6G systems.
Together, the two companies plan to advance the development, validation and commercialisation of mmWave connectivity, O-RAN, small cells and advanced RF technologies across Saudi Arabia and the broader Middle East.
Partnership Covers O-RAN, mmWave and Small Cells
Under the terms of the agreement, ACES and Movandi plan to collaborate across several areas. These include mmWave and RF front-end technologies for high-capacity, low-latency wireless connectivity, as well as 5G, future 6G and O-RAN architectures covering both indoor and outdoor small cells.
The partnership also encompasses joint R&D, field validation and proof-of-concept deployments, alongside commercialisation and business development activities across Saudi Arabia, the broader Middle East and global markets.
Maryam Rofougaran, CEO and co-founder of Movandi, said: “Movandi’s technology has already been proven through commercial and trial deployments in North America and Asia. By combining our mmWave, RFIC and beamforming expertise with ACES’ market presence, integration capabilities and deployment experience, we see a significant opportunity to accelerate advanced wireless infrastructure across Saudi Arabia and the region.”
Joint Work Targets Wireless Infrastructure Development
The partners said the agreement provides Movandi with a regional platform to validate and scale its wireless technologies. At the same time, the 5G and 6G Partnership is intended to expand ACES’ ability to deliver advanced mmWave and O-RAN solutions to operators and enterprises across Saudi Arabia and the wider region.
The collaboration supports digital infrastructure goals aligned with Saudi Vision 2030. By combining their respective strengths in mmWave, small cells, O-RAN and advanced RF technologies, ACES and Movandi aim to build a stronger foundation for next-generation wireless infrastructure in the Middle East.
This 5G and 6G Partnership positions both companies to pursue joint opportunities in an increasingly connected regional market, with a clear focus on proof-of-concept work and commercialisation of advanced wireless solutions.
