Creation Source approached the RCU Al Ula project by directly tackling the geographical and environmental challenges of the region. Recognizing the vast distances and difficult terrain, our strategy prioritized robust wireless point-to-point connectivity alongside deep physical infrastructure, beginning with extensive soil testing and the erection of massive communication towers.

Once the physical and wireless transmission backbones were secured, we implemented a sophisticated technological layer featuring edge AI-capable surveillance, license plate recognition, and a centralized data command center. This ensured that despite the remote nature of the site, operators maintain absolute visibility, seamless data storage, and uninterrupted control over the entire designated area.

Services Offered

IP CCTV

We implemented a wide-reaching network of ruggedized IP cameras designed to withstand the harsh environmental conditions of Al Ula. This surveillance grid provides continuous, high-resolution monitoring across expansive operational zones.

LPR (License Plate Recognition)

Advanced LPR technology was integrated at critical checkpoints to automate the identification and logging of all vehicles. This system enhances perimeter security and streamlines traffic management protocols.

Wireless Point-to-Point Connectivity

To overcome the vast physical distances where traditional cabling was unfeasible, we deployed high-bandwidth wireless point-to-point links. These connections ensure seamless, high-speed data transmission between remote sites and the central hub.

UTP & Fiber Infrastructure

A resilient structured cabling network using advanced fiber optics and UTP was installed for localized high-speed connectivity. This backbone supports the heavy data loads generated by the surveillance and networking equipment.

Active Network

We engineered a robust active network architecture to ensure uninterrupted communication and data flow across all connected devices. The system is highly fault-tolerant, minimizing the risk of downtime in remote areas.

Servers, VMS, Storage

Creation Source supplied and configured enterprise-grade servers and massive storage arrays managed by a sophisticated Video Management System (VMS). This infrastructure securely archives and processes vast amounts of critical video data.

Data Center

A secure, optimized data center facility was constructed to house the core processing and storage infrastructure. It features advanced cooling and power management to ensure optimal hardware performance.

AV for Command & Control Room

We equipped the central command room with cutting-edge audio-visual integration to support complex monitoring operations. This allows operators to effectively interpret data feeds and coordinate responses in real-time.

Poles/Towers (20m to 35m)

Our teams successfully erected towering communication masts reaching up to 35 meters in height. These structures are essential for achieving the necessary line-of-sight for our wireless point-to-point transmission equipment.

Civil Works

Comprehensive civil engineering services were executed, encompassing initial soil testing, extensive excavation, and the secure anchoring of all physical structures. This foundational work was critical for ensuring the long-term stability of the deployed infrastructure.
