What NASCO does

NASCO (National Advanced Systems Co. Ltd) is a Saudi Arabian privately-held system integrator founded in 1989 and headquartered in Riyadh, with three regional offices across the Kingdom. The company designs, engineers, and operates mission-critical communication, security, and IT/OT cybersecurity solutions for government and enterprise customers, primarily in Saudi Arabia and the broader Middle East.

Its portfolio spans nine core solution areas organized as a platform-plus-modules architecture: Wireless Telecom & Radio Networks (Land Mobile Radio, TETRA, Public Safety LTE, Command Center Software Suite, Video Security & Analytics), Security & Low Current (face recognition, ANPR, pedestrian access, radar perimeter protection), Detection & Protection (OSI Security Division baggage/cargo/people screening), Ports & Marine (Fleet Operations, Ship Traffic Control, e-Navigation, VTS/VTMIS, navigational equipment), IT & OT Cyber Security, Industrial IoT/Smart Manufacturing, Energy & Power Systems, Tactical Communications (portable telecom shelters), and Managed & Support Services. Underlying technology integrates hardware (TETRA base stations, CT screening, radar, VTS sensors) with software platforms and AI features (computer vision, anomaly detection, ML-based optimization) sourced from both OEM partners (Motorola Solutions, Cisco, Genetec) and internal engineering. Notable technical assets include the largest TETRA network in the MEA region covering 4,000+ RF sites across Riyadh, Makkah, and Eastern Region, 1,000+ base stations, and managed services covering 17 million hours of mission-critical operations.

NASCO earns revenue through a mix of project-based system integration (design, engineering, turnkey implementation), managed services under multi-year support agreements, hardware sales (security screening, portable telecom shelters), and O&M subscriptions. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales targeting government public safety, military/defense, critical infrastructure (water, oil & gas, ports), and industrial customers, with regional Sales Engineer support and partnerships with industry-leading OEMs. Pricing is project-specific and quote-based, with no public disclosure of contract values or revenue.

Direct peers

• L3Harris Technologies:
• Motorola Solutions: Global leader in Land Mobile Radio, public safety LTE, command center software, and video security — the OEM backbone for much of NASCO's telecom and public-safety deployments. Motorola is both partner and competitor, capable of direct regional sales that could bypass NASCO.

Broad incumbents

• Thales Group: Global defense, aerospace, and digital security conglomerate with a large mission-critical communications and critical-infrastructure protection portfolio. Thales competes with NASCO in secure comms, defense electronics, and cybersecurity for government customers in the Middle East, but at vastly larger scale and with owned IP.
