Zain KSA has deployed Nokia Deepfield across its telecommunications infrastructure covering more than 100 cities in Saudi Arabia. The deployment introduces real-time, application-level visibility across the operator’s network to improve digital experiences for enterprise and retail customers.
Real-Time Network Visibility Across Saudi Arabia
Data consumption in the Kingdom continues to increase rapidly due to rising demand for video streaming, cloud services, and emerging digital workloads. Traditional monitoring tools often provide limited visibility into traffic flows, creating challenges for operators seeking to maintain high reliability across modern telecommunications networks.
To solve this operational challenge, the analytics platform combines global internet context with network telemetry. This data integration converts raw metrics into actionable operational intelligence, allowing technical teams to make data-driven decisions and implement proactive network adjustments.
Capabilities of Nokia Deepfield Systems
At the center of the deployment is the Deepfield Cloud Genome, a continuously updated map of the internet. The system categorizes applications across more than 30 distinct categories using over 100 automated rules based on artificial intelligence and machine learning.
“As digital demand grows in scale and complexity, network intelligence is essential to delivering consistently reliable experiences to our customers. Integrating Nokia Deepfield Cloud Intelligence gives us deeper, real-time visibility into traffic patterns and enables more precise performance optimization across critical applications and services, enhancing the user experience.”
Sultan Mohammad Alsabhan, Vice President of Technology Operations, Zain KSA
Optimization for Gaming and Cloud Services
The system provides granular insights into application traffic, allowing network engineers to detect bottlenecks before service degradation occurs. Consequently, latency-sensitive services such as cloud gaming and high-definition video streaming maintain lower latency and consistent data throughput across connected regions.
“A digital services provider’s infrastructure is its most critical asset. Leaders like Zain KSA trust Nokia’s expertise to deliver the trust, performance and reliability they need. This deployment equips Zain KSA with the insights needed to improve service quality, optimize network investments, and accelerate its evolution toward a software-driven, AI-ready network.”
Mikko Lavanti, President, Nokia Middle East and Africa
Infrastructure Support for National Digital Goals
The cloud-native architecture provides structured telemetry data to support advanced automation and new digital services aligned with Saudi Vision 2030. Nokia Deepfield gives the operator the technical framework required to manage rising data volumes while controlling operational costs across the Kingdom.
