What Simtix does

Simtix is a privately-held security software and systems integrator founded in 2002 in Amman, Jordan, that builds a full security stack combining a proprietary AI engine (Secure-Brain), gate automation software (Simtix Perimeter Guardian), RFID tracking software (Simtix Facility Guardian), edge computing appliances, and in-house hardware (IPHUB Series, RCGS gate portal). The company operates on a vendor-integrator model: the same team that writes the software handles site survey, installation, integration, tuning, and regional support, eliminating hand-offs. Deployments run on-premise with offline capability, integrate with existing CCTV, alarm, and ERP/SAP systems, and support bilingual Arabic-English operator interfaces. Headcount is 11-50 employees, and the company has accumulated 1,000+ deployments across the Middle East and Europe since 2002.

Revenue is generated through four streams: one-time software licensing for SPG and SFG, sales of proprietary hardware (IPHUB, RCGS), professional services covering site survey, integration, and ongoing support, and consulting/custom development engagements that produce RFP-ready technical blueprints. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; the sales cycle is consultative and long, beginning with a consultation booking and progressing through assess-design-deploy-support phases. Customers are concentrated in government and defense (Saudi Ministries of Defense, Education, Foreign Affairs, Interior, Customs, Royal Saudi Navy, Saudi Arabian National Guard, Saudi Special Security Forces, Dubai Police, Abu Dhabi Customs), oil and gas (Saudi Aramco as the standardized gate-automation platform across 40+ main gates, YASREF), border security (Oman-UAE crossing), free zones (DAFZA), events (ADNEC), and hospitality (Intercontinental Hotel Riyadh).

The company is owned and controlled by its two founding partners: Mohammad Hindi (General Manager, CFO, majority shareholder) and Dr. Ghaith Hammouri (Partner, Chief Technologist, PhD in cryptography with U.S. NSF-sponsored research and multiple patents). No external institutional investors are referenced. Geographic footprint spans Jordan (HQ), Saudi Arabia (Riyadh branch opened 2026), UAE (~300 deployments, Dubai Police-authorized), and expansion underway into Qatar (with R&D and manufacturing on the roadmap) and the United States (Sheridan, Wyoming office).

Core offering

Simtix develops and sells an integrated security software and hardware stack for perimeter, gate, and facility access control. Its core offerings are two flagship platforms — Simtix Perimeter Guardian (SPG) for gate automation and vehicle identification, and Simtix Facility Guardian (SFG) for RFID-based tracking of people, assets, files, and inventory — together with the proprietary Secure-Brain AI engine, an Edge Computing Platform, and in-house hardware (IPHUB Series, RCGS gate portal). All products are deployed on-premise with offline capability and sold primarily to government ministries, customs authorities, police, oil & gas operators, and hospitality enterprises across the Middle East and Europe.

Product overview

Simtix builds a full security stack comprising two flagship software platforms (Simtix Perimeter Guardian for gate automation and Simtix Facility Guardian for RFID tracking), a proprietary Secure-Brain AI engine for vehicle identification, a managed Edge Computing Platform for closed-box ANPR, and purpose-built hardware (IPHUB Series and RCGS gate portal). The portfolio covers four solution verticals: checkpoint & perimeter security, border & customs control, facility & asset tracking, and parking management. All products are designed for on-premise deployment with offline capability, built on open interfaces that integrate with existing cameras, barriers, readers, CCTV, alarms, and ERP/SAP systems. The company operates from Amman (HQ) and Riyadh, with deployments across the Middle East and Europe.

Products and services

• Simtix Perimeter Guardian (SPG) — iGate / iGate Pro Gate automation and vehicle identification platform that controls LPR cameras, barriers, traffic lights, and CCTV from one central command. Shares black/white lists in real time across all lanes, supports full vehicle history and reports by plate number or visit date. The standard used by Saudi Aramco to automate traffic through all its facility gates, and deployed on the Oman–UAE border.
• Simtix Facility Guardian (SFG) RFID tracking platform for people, assets, files, inventory, and jewelry with complex access rules enforced through a simple interface. Provides live floor-map visibility, automatic rule enforcement including time-window and per-person asset access, full audit records in minutes rather than days, and integration with ERP/SAP, CCTV, and alarm systems.
• Secure-Brain AI Engine Foundational AI engine for vehicle identification that extracts license plate number, city & country, vehicle make, model, and color from a single image. Benchmarked at 96% accuracy against leading regional LPR engines (under 92%). Runs inside SPG and on the Edge Computing Platform, on-premise and on edge devices.
• Edge Computing Platform Closed-box ANPR appliance that runs cryptographically signed, isolated applications with central fleet control. Supports Raspberry Pi 5, NVIDIA Jetson, and industrial mini-PC form factors. Processes video locally, works offline, with no per-frame cloud cost; integrates with cameras the customer already owns.
• IPHUB Series Secure network-based USB hub that shares and manages USB devices over an IP network via HTTPS. Allows remote connection to sensors, dongles, and storage as if physically attached, through an encrypted connection. Designed and assembled in-house.
• RCGS (Remote Controlled Gate Solution) Outdoor-rated intelligent gate-management portal that automates and secures vehicle entry and exit. Combines AI-driven authentication, RFID verification, ANPR, and remote control in a robust unit built for critical facilities, industrial compounds, and oil-and-gas sites. Designed and assembled in-house.
• Checkpoint & Perimeter Security Solutions Security solutions that unify gate automation and AI vision to automate vehicle decisions at checkpoints. Covers readers and cameras at perimeter points, LPR capture with Secure-Brain extraction, encrypted RFID dual-credential verification, central black/white list enforcement, and instant barrier and traffic light response.
• Border & Customs Control Solutions Lane-speed vehicle intelligence at international border crossings. Identifies plate number, city, country, make, model, and color at lane speed; archives complete transit records with images and scene captures; shares decisions across all lanes in real time; scales from single crossing to national deployment.
• Facility, Asset Management & Inventory Tracking Solutions RFID-based tracking solution that monitors people, assets, files, documents, and inventory within secure facilities. Provides live floor-map visibility, automatic access and behavioral rule enforcement, full audit trails, and integrates with alarms, CCTV, and ERP/SAP systems.
• Parking Management Solutions Access and revenue control solution for parking facilities. Vehicles are recognized on approach for registered users, barriers respond to rules (resident, guest, visitor, flagged), and every entry and exit is logged with images and plate data. Works offline via edge units.
• Custom Development & Consulting Services AI and cryptography consultation, custom development, and in-house hardware assembly. Four-phase engagement: introduction, feedback, design & planning, custom solution. Produces RFP-ready technical blueprints with KPIs when off-the-shelf products do not fit.
