Nile deployed a massive Campus Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) implementation at LEAP 2025, a global technology event held from February 9-12 at the Riyadh Exhibition and Convention Center in Malham, Saudi Arabia. The network, covering nearly 2 million square feet (185,000 square meters) across seven conference halls, was set up in just three days and served over 200,000 attendees. Nile partnered with solutions by stc and TAWAL to build a secure, high-performance, AI-driven network capable of supporting 55,000 concurrent users without a single security incident or network failure.
Nile’s AI-powered autonomous network architecture allowed rapid deployment and continuous optimization through its AI Automation Center, ensuring optimal availability, coverage, and capacity throughout the event. This NaaS deployment was designed to meet the demands of global tech leaders, startups, and exhibitors demonstrating cutting-edge solutions, all requiring seamless connectivity. The infrastructure remains in place to support future events at the Riyadh venue, showcasing Nile’s capability to deliver enterprise-grade networks with minimal operational complexity.
The deployment underscores Nile’s vision of transforming enterprise networking through zero-trust security, AI-driven automation, and simplified operations. Solutions by stc and TAWAL highlighted Nile’s ability to deliver at scale, reinforcing Saudi Arabia’s growing role as a digital transformation hub. The successful deployment at LEAP 2025 sets a new benchmark for large-scale, AI-driven networking solutions in the Middle East and beyond.
