The agreement was announced in Riyadh on October 20, 2026, [EIN Presswire](https://www.einnews.com/article/950924690/live) reported.\n\n## What the SmartThings Pro Agreement Covers\n\nUnder the agreement, [Tawal](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/0003mg9/tawal) will use SmartThings Pro to manage assets across multiple sites, with the platform sending automated alerts so teams can track asset status and identify issues needing attention. The deal includes asset-tracking devices to support monitoring and management work, and covers energy data analytics and reporting to track consumption patterns.\n\nTawal will integrate the platform with its systems through enterprise application programming interfaces, or APIs, to enable data exchange for asset monitoring and operations management. The company said the agreement is part of its push to adopt smart technologies and improve how it manages digital infrastructure. Samsung said the collaboration is focused on giving teams clear information for daily decisions across multiple sites.\n\nThe agreement also includes training for Tawal teams, which the companies said will support the rollout of the platform across Tawal's operations. [Samsung Electronics](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/00000ay/samsung-electronics) is separately expanding its Pyeongtaek semiconductor hub, converting NAND lines to DRAM and restarting construction on a fifth fab, according to EIN Presswire.\n\n## Tawal's Tower Portfolio Behind the Deal\n\nAccording to akta.pro [company records](https://akta.pro/company-data), Tawal completed its merger with GLIC (Latis Golden Investment) in early 2026 under the Tawal brand, forming the largest digital infrastructure company in the region with more than 30,000 tower sites. The same records put Tawal's enterprise value at SAR 22 billion following PIF's acquisition of a 51% stake, structured as a share swap merger involving GLIC. Tawal raised $1.42 billion through Islamic financing to acquire the mobile telecommunications infrastructure unit of United Group in Bulgaria, Croatia and Slovenia, a deal valued at 1.22 billion euros that completed on August 24, 2023.\n\n## Earlier Tawal Infrastructure Deals\n\nTawal signed an Indoor Building Solutions agreement with Huawei in September 2026 to expand indoor digital networks across Saudi Arabia, using new deployment models and advanced technologies for enterprise, commercial and mid-sized venues, Telecompaper reported. In the same month, Tawal and Rakuten Symphony launched Saudi Arabia's first multi-operator shared indoor network powered by Cloud RAN at KAUST in Jeddah, EIN Presswire reported. In July 2026, Mobily confirmed that preliminary discussions had taken place with Tawal regarding a potential sale of its telecom tower infrastructure, Datacenterdynamics reported.\n\n## Rollout and Training Plans\n\nTawal and Samsung will roll out SmartThings Pro across the company's operations under the agreement, with the training component covering workflows around the new monitoring and analytics tools.\n","publisher":{"name":"News for Agent","url":"https://newsforagent.com"}}
