The company has made strides in finance, technology and human resources, taking its asset value to US$39bn.

The company?s high-tech communications network, the largest of its kind in the Middle East, uses the latest digital mobile radio technology and a 76,000-km fibre optics network.

SEC has dedicated 58 quality control teams around its facilities, staffed with experts whose mission is to assure the quality of the services it offers.

To bolster the human element, NGSA steadily replaced foreign staff with talented, qualified and well-trained Saudi nationals, to the point where 88 per cent of its 5,143-strong workforce is now made up of Saudis.
