Saudi Aramco has announced the launch of a new dedicated digital network designed to provide secure, high-reliability connectivity for industrial operations across Saudi Arabia, marking a significant step in the Kingdom’s push to modernise critical infrastructure.

The initiative, developed through Aramco Digital, is intended to support advanced industrial applications while meeting stringent security and performance requirements.

The network is built to enable real-time data transmission for energy, manufacturing and logistics operations, supporting technologies such as automation, artificial intelligence, remote monitoring and predictive maintenance.

By offering isolated and highly secure connectivity, the system is designed to protect sensitive industrial data and ensure operational continuity even in complex or high-risk environments.

Saudi Aramco said the platform will help accelerate digital transformation across key sectors by reducing latency, improving reliability and strengthening cybersecurity standards.

The network is expected to integrate with existing industrial systems while providing the scalability needed to support future technologies, including smart factories and digitally enabled supply chains.

The rollout aligns with Saudi Arabia’s broader national strategy to enhance technological sovereignty and build resilient digital infrastructure capable of supporting economic diversification.

Officials involved in the project have highlighted its role in boosting productivity, enabling innovation and reinforcing the Kingdom’s position as a global leader in energy and industrial technology.

As deployment expands, the network is expected to serve as a backbone for secure industrial connectivity nationwide, underpinning Saudi Arabia’s ambitions to combine advanced digital capabilities with world-class industrial operations.
