    • Client feedback integration
  4. Regulatory Approval
    • Local certification support (SASO, CITC for wireless)
    • Hazardous area compliance (IECEx, ATEX)
  5. Pilot Deployment
    • Onsite installation with Saudi technicians
    • Operator training in Arabic/English
  6. Lifecycle Support
    • Remote monitoring via Jeddah/Riyadh NOC
    • Annual maintenance contracts
