History
Sahara Net is a Saudi Company and its history goes back to 1989 when Sahara Net established the 1st Saudi Bulletin Board Service (BBS) in the Kingdom. During this period, it operated as a hub for email exchange in the FidoNet network. And in 1994 Sahara Net started offering Internet connectivity and other related services like internet email, web design, web hosting and Domain name registry services. In 1998, the Saudi Internet market was regulated and Sahara Net received Internet Service Provider(ISP) license and was appointed as the official Local Internet Registry (LIR) in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Another achievement is when Sahara Net received their ISO 9001:2008 certificate in 2011.
The company grew over these years to become one of the main ICTs in the Saudi market, extending network coverage to all major cities in Saudi Arabia, offering various connectivity options to corporate as well as home users. In 2009 the company was partially acquired by Telindus (the ICT investment arm of Belgacom), the famous telecom operator in Belgium and Europe. Recently, Sahara Holdings (the investment arm of Sahara Net original founders) made a full acquisition to be the sole owner of Sahara Net and its subsidiaries.
