If you are a System Integrator operating in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), you know that “Vision 2030” is not just a slogan—it’s a regulatory framework. The Transport General Authority (TGA) has made it mandatory for all heavy vehicles, rental cars, and cold chain logistics to be integrated with the WASL platform.

The challenge? Most generic GPS trackers imported from Asia are not CITC Certified, and their firmware is incompatible with the strict data schema required by WASL.

Why This Matters
Non-compliance is expensive. Fines for operating unconnected trucks can reach 5,000 SAR per violation. As an integrator, your clients expect you to handle this complexity.

• The “WASL” Challenge: It’s Not Just GPS
  WASL (Wasl Electronic Platform) doesn’t just want lat/long coordinates. It requires a specific weight packet structure that includes:

Driver ID: Must match the digital ID card inserted into the device.
Vehicle Weight: For heavy trucks, integrated with axle load sensors.
Speed Limiter Status: Real-time alerts if the device detects tampering.
Standard “off-the-shelf” firmware cannot handle these conditional packets. You need devices with Programmable Firmware.

• TOMOIOT’s Solution: Pre-Integrated Firmware
  At TOMOIOT, we have spent 18 months working with Riyadh-based partners to develop a specialized KSA Firmware Branch for our ASTRO 900 series.

Our middleware automatically formats data into the exact XML/JSON schema required by the WASL API gateway.

• Hardware That Survives 55°C
  Compliance is useless if the hardware melts. The Saudi desert is unforgiving. Summer temperatures inside a truck dashboard can exceed 80°C.

The ASTRO 900 uses industrial-grade ceramic capacitors instead of standard lithium batteries (which can explode in high heat). We are certified IP69K, meaning the device is dust-tight against desert sandstorms.

• CITC Certification: The “Golden Ticket”
  Importing telematics hardware into KSA requires a CITC Certificate of Conformity. Without it, your shipment will be seized at Jeddah Islamic Port.

TOMOIOT provides the full CITC dossier for our partners, including:

Radio Spectrum Test Reports (EN 301 511)
EMC Safety Reports
SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) Health Certificates
