MXVi secures major Saudi contract and showcases Vi5 in-vehicle platform at LEAP 2026

MXVi is using LEAP 2026 to put its mission-critical vehicle technology squarely in front of regional buyers. The company confirmed it will participate at the Riyadh Exhibition & Convention Centre, exhibiting alongside Aramco Digital and showcasing its Vi5 in-vehicle device at the Aramco Digital stand (Hall 1, Stand D30). Alongside the showcase, MXVi disclosed that it has been awarded a major contract in Saudi Arabia—described by the company as a pivotal moment in its expansion, following deployments with the UK Home Office and a major European airport. Together, the product presence and contract news signal a concrete step in the company’s Gulf strategy. At the show, MXVi is focused on the Vi5, an in-vehicle device built for mission-critical operations that must straddle both established and next-generation communications. According to the company, the Vi5 supports legacy mobile radio alongside mission-critical LTE/5G, enabling agencies and operators to maintain continuity while modernizing their fleets. MXVi says the device is certified by Google and major MCX providers, a pairing intended to reassure buyers who require vetted platforms and interoperable services for regulated environments. The company is presenting Vi5 on the Aramco Digital stand, positioning its technology within a high-visibility partner space on the LEAP 2026 floor. The product emphasis aligns with how many organizations upgrade communications in vehicles: not in a wholesale switch, but through staged adoption that must respect existing radio investments while unlocking broadband features. By explicitly supporting legacy mobile radio and LTE/5G, MXVi is addressing that transition path directly. The device’s certification profile, as described by the company, is also notable. Certification by Google and major MCX providers typically indicates compliance with mobile platform requirements and alignment with mission-critical push-to-talk and data ecosystems. While MXVi has not elaborated publicly on specific application stacks or integrations, the certification statement alone signals that Vi5 is designed to operate within mainstream software and MCX environments rather than a proprietary island. LEAP 2026 provides a timely backdrop for that message. The event has become a regional showcase for digital infrastructure and applied technology, and automotive and public-safety buyers often use it to evaluate roadmaps side-by-side. Demonstrating Vi5 at the Riyadh Exhibition & Convention Centre, and specifically at the Aramco Digital stand (Hall 1, Stand D30), places MXVi’s offering in front of customers who are actively weighing how to connect legacy voice with broadband data and how to manage that blend inside vehicles that must remain operational at all times. MXVi’s disclosure of a major contract win in Saudi Arabia is the second part of its announcement and provides the commercial footing for its presence at LEAP. The company characterizes the award as a significant milestone in its global expansion, following previous deployments with the UK Home Office and a major European airport. For prospective buyers in the Gulf, that track record will likely be read as evidence of the company’s experience in highly regulated, mission-critical environments where uptime, certification, and multi-network coordination are mandatory. Leadership details add further context. MXVi identifies Dr. Mohamad Alawad as its Executive Regional Director for the Gulf and Peter Clemons as Head of Strategy and Business Development. The roles underscore how the company is structuring for both local execution and longer-term market alignment. In practice, a contract of this nature tends to influence product validation cycles, service readiness, and ecosystem partnerships, all of which are crucial when supporting mixed radio and LTE/5G fleets across a large operational footprint. The company has not publicly disclosed the customer name or deployment specifics for the new award. Even so, situating the announcement alongside a live Vi5 showcase at LEAP creates a coherent narrative: a concrete business win paired with a hands-on technology demonstration in the same market. For buyers and partners, that combination can clarify where a vendor’s roadmap is headed and how quickly its solutions are being adopted. For MXVi, it provides a platform to translate global references—such as the UK Home Office and a major European airport—into region-specific conversations about resilience, migration timelines, and support models. In-vehicle systems sit at the center of mission-critical operations, linking frontline staff to command centers, databases, and each other. The friction point is often the coexistence of legacy mobile radio and newer LTE/5G services. MXVi’s Vi5 approach, as described by the company, is to embrace that coexistence. By supporting legacy mobile radio and mission-critical LTE/5G on one in-vehicle device, the company is acknowledging the operational reality t
