Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 is transforming cities, campuses, public services, and national infrastructure—driving demand for secure, scalable, high-performance connectivity. The Kingdom’s rapidly expanding Wi-Fi market, projected to grow from USD 330 million in 2024 to USD 885 million by 2033, reflects this accelerated digital transformation across education, hospitality, smart cities, and public services.

IO by HFCL delivers enterprise-grade access points, network switches, and AI-powered network management—engineered to support Saudi Arabia’s long-term digital growth and scaled to perform under the extreme demands of global events such as the FIFA World Cup 2034.

Vision 2030: Smart Infrastructure & Digital Transformation

Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 emphasizes smart cities, industrial automation, and digital connectivity. Industrial-grade switches are essential because:

Harsh Environmental Conditions

Saudi Arabia’s climate includes extreme heat and dust. Industrial-grade switches and Outdoor Access Points are designed to operate reliably in such conditions without failure.

Smart City Deployments

Projects like NEOM and The Line require robust networking; industrial-grade switches ensure uninterrupted connectivity for IoT, surveillance, and autonomous systems in harsh environments.

Industrial & Energy Sector

Oil & gas facilities, renewable energy plants, and transportation hubs need ruggedized networking for mission-critical operations.

Scaling for FIFA World Cup 2034: Stadiums & Event Infrastructure

Hosting a global event like FIFA demands high-performance, resilient networks:

  • Outdoor Connectivity: Stadiums, fan zones, and transport systems will need Industrial-grade rugged switches for outdoor networking under high temperatures.

  • Security & Surveillance: Large-scale video surveillance and access control systems require reliable edge connectivity.

  • Temporary & Mobile Networks: Event setups often involve temporary outdoor installations; rugged switches provide durability and quick deployment.
