Orange Business Services announced its smart city consulting agreement with Jeddah Economic Company (JEC).
JEC is the developer of the world’s tallest tower, Jeddah Tower. The tower, which is over 1km tall, will be situated at the 5.3 million square meter Jeddah Economic City Project.
As part of the smart city agreement, Orange Business will create a blueprint for the ICT infrastructure of the tower, from the plan and design, to the build and run phases.
“The implementation of the smart city components is considered as an essential step for delivering an environmentally friendly self-sustainable project,” said Mounib Hammoud, CEO of Jeddah Economic City.
Orange Business Services is working on major smart city projects in Saudi Arabia including King Abdullah Financial District (KAFD) with an investment of over $70 billion.
Orange Business Services has offices in the main cities across the three provinces of Saudi Arabia – Riyadh, Jeddah and Dammam.
