Mobily renews its partnership with iBASIS, enhancing IPX roaming services to support growing international traffic and digital transformation in Saudi Arabia.

Etihad Etisalat (Mobily), a leading digital enabler in the technology, media, and telecom (TMT) sector in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), and iBASIS, the leading provider of communications solutions for operators and digital players worldwide, announced today that they have renewed their partnership, extending their multi-service IPX agreement for roaming services.

Since establishing a strong collaboration in 2014 through an international voice partnership, iBASIS has consistently delivered world-class mobile data solutions to Mobily. This includes economies of scale, cost stability, and dedicated service management—key factors driving Mobily’s sustained international traffic growth.

The renewal highlights the enduring success of this collaboration, particularly in managing Mobily’s international traffic growth to handle a tenfold increase in mobile data traffic over the past three years. This enhancement will improve Mobily’s network scalability in managing significant traffic surges during peak demand periods, such as the Hajj, Ramadan, and tourism seasons, and showcase unmatched reliability and robustness.

Our collaboration has been focused on ensuring high-quality, scalable mobile services for our customers. This milestone reinforces our commitment to innovation and growth as we explore new opportunities, including IoT services, while maintaining the exceptional performance our customers expect. iBASIS has been a trusted partner of Mobily for over a decade, managing our international voice and mobile services.

Thamer Alfadda, SVP Wholesale, Mobily

We are honored to renew our partnership with Mobily, reflecting a shared vision to drive digital transformation and enrich consumer experiences. As a leading technology and telecommunications provider, Mobily continues to take proactive steps to deliver top-tier services. We’re proud to support their efforts with our advanced IPX capabilities, enabling them to expand their market reach and achieve their strategic goals.

Patrick George, CEO, iBASIS
