Manama, November 3, 2025 — Umniah by Beyon has signed a landmark five-year partnership with Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) to drive the next phase of connectivity in Jordan, reaffirming its commitment to innovation, digital inclusion, and sustainable national development. The agreement was signed during Gateway Gulf 2025 at the Four Seasons Hotel Bahrain in the presence of Shaikh Abdulla bin Khalifa Al Khalifa, Chairman of Beyon Group, and senior executives from both companies.

Under the agreement, Ericsson will serve as Umniah’s exclusive radio access network (RAN) provider for 3G, 4G, and 5G technologies, enabling the modernization of Umniah’s network infrastructure with advanced Ericsson Radio System solutions.
