We’re thrilled to be back from our recent business trip to Saudi Arabia, and we can’t wait to share some incredible insights with you. If you’re curious about the potential of expanding your business as an integrator, keep reading because we’ve got four compelling reasons that make Saudi Arabia a hotspot for business growth:
For example, SASO requires owners of trucks and other heavy-duty vehicles to install location-tracking devices and weight sensors. Think about how many opportunities this requirement opens for integrators who can offer their solutions! You can also check the full list of essential devices for vehicles in one of SASO standards, and it includes Vehicle Location Tracking (such as GPS tracker), Emergency Button, On Board Weighing EQUIPMENT (such as axle load sensor), and Configuration of Device Parameters Over the Air (OTA) (Motor Vehicles-Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) - Telematics Requirements, 2023, pp. 8 - 15).
That’s not even the half of the story! Keep in mind that one of the CITC Statutes requires integrators to obtain a special license before starting to provide telecommunication services (Regulations of the Provision of the Internet of Things Virtual Network Operator Services (IoT-VNO), 2023, p.7). So make sure to research all necessary steps that will get you to the market and then you’ll take it from there!
In conclusion, Saudi Arabia holds immense promise, and we encourage you to research the vast opportunities available. If you envision your business thriving in this dynamic environment, don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re open to new collaborations and ready to explore the endless possibilities!
