The agreement was signed by Adel Hamed, Managing Director and CEO of Telecom Egypt, and Henrik Fall, Head of Cloud Services and Networks in the Middle East and Africa at Nokia.
The WING network would allow Telecom Egypt to provide IoT services to companies on a global scale, enabling them to take advantage of the rapidly and effectively growing technology based on the multi-service WING model, which includes a Pay First business model and Pay As You Grow.

The agreement also includes cooperation in launching joint marketing initiatives and accelerating the development of IoT projects in the country, which will contribute to the automation of projects and help companies reduce their operating expenses, enhance productivity, and provide new services to several markets.
