Salam partners with CDNetworks to enhance internet services in KSA

Salam, a telecommunications provider in Saudi Arabia, has partnered with CDNetworks to enhance internet service quality and meet the growing digital demands in the Kingdom. The collaboration focuses on providing International IP Transit services, ensuring ultra-low latency and high-speed internet solutions for Saudi users.

The agreement comes at a time when Saudi Arabia is experiencing a rapid surge in demand for advanced digital services and content delivery. The Games Live Streaming market in the Kingdom is projected to grow by 6.36% between 2025 and 2027, reaching an estimated market volume of $141.4m by 2027. Additionally, a YouGov report indicates that 73% of Saudi gamers prefer smartphones for gaming.

The country’s Video Streaming (SVoD) sector is also on an upward trajectory, with an expected growth rate of 8.06% and a market volume projected to hit $250.8m by 2027. This increasing demand for high-quality and diverse internet services is fueling growth in the Saudi content delivery network (CDN) market, which is forecasted to generate $413.4m in revenue by 2030.

Speaking about the partnership, Amjad Arab, Chief Wholesale and Partnerships Officer at Salam, said: “The collaboration with CDNetworks marks a transformative step towards empowering the people of Saudi Arabia with top-tier internet services. Our commitment to innovation and excellence finds a perfect partner in CDNetworks, ensuring that our customers enjoy a robust digital ecosystem with the fastest and most dependable connectivity.”

CDNetworks, known for providing secure and efficient digital experiences, is expected to play a vital role in supporting Salam’s mission to enhance internet capabilities across multiple industries.

Antony Li, VP of CDNetworks, said: “We are thrilled to partner with an eminent Saudi company like Salam as they strive to redefine the digital landscape in the region. Our global expertise in creating secure and efficient online environments will be instrumental in providing the Saudi market with the low-latency, high-quality internet services it demands.”
