Tawal is a Saudi ICT infrastructure company and a subsidiary of STC (Saudi Telecommunication Company) Group, a Saudi Arabian telecommunications conglomerate.[1][2][3] It operates as a tower infrastructure provider in Pakistan, designing, building, and managing telecommunication towers.[4][5][6][7][8][9]

History[edit]

Tawal entered the Pakistani market in February 2022 through the full acquisition of Awal Telecom, a previously established tower company primarily operating in the northwest region.[2][4][10][11][12][13] This move marked Tawal's first international expansion beyond its home base in Saudi Arabia. Following regulatory approval, Tawal officially launched its operations in Pakistan on February 20, 2023, with headquarters in Islamabad.[14] Mohammed Alhakbani was appointed as CEO at Tawal Pakistan.[1][4][10] Pakistan allows Tawal operations in Pakistan.[7][15]

Operations[edit]

Tawal aims to expand its presence in Pakistan, providing telecommunication tower infrastructure and services to mobile network operators and other companies.[16] This expansion is expected to contribute to Pakistan's growing digital transformation and development of its ICT infrastructure.[16][17][18][19]

Demand[edit]

Tawal's entry into the Pakistani market signifies the demand for telecommunication infrastructure in the country.[20] Pakistan's mobile voice and data subscriptions have witnessed significant growth in recent years, with further expansion anticipated in 4G LTE and 5G networks.[19]
