High Speed Networks Solutions (HSNS Group) is a Jeddah-based technology holding company pioneering ROACM — a patented packet-forwarding protocol that fundamentally transforms how internet and data center traffic flows. Through four specialized subsidiaries spanning R&D, licensing, manufacturing & branded solutions, and semiconductor design — HSNS is building a complete Saudi networking ecosystem.
HSNS Group is a technology holding company based in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. We are the creators of ROACM (Route Once and Cross-Connect Many) — a next-generation networking protocol that changes how data moves across the world's networks.
HSNS operates as the parent company of four specialized subsidiaries, each driving a distinct business line — from foundational research and IP licensing to hardware manufacturing with branded networking solutions, and semiconductor design. Together, they form an integrated value chain poised to make Saudi Arabia a global networking leader.
Our mission directly supports Saudi Vision 2030 goals of digital transformation, technological self-reliance, and green technology leadership. We are bringing Saudi innovation to the global stage in high-end networking technology.
Packets forwarded at propagation delay speed, eliminating per-hop processing bottlenecks.
Up to 80% reduction in network power consumption without additional hardware.
Session-based routing hides IP addresses from intermediate nodes, enhancing data privacy.
Bringing Saudi-originated innovation to global markets in high technology.
Foundational research behind ROACM and Short CRC protocol innovations and future networking technologies.
Monetising ROACM intellectual property through licensing agreements with chipset vendors and OEM partners worldwide.
Saudi Arabia's first branded networking solutions provider — manufacturing locally and bringing HSNS technology to market across telecom, data center, and AI segments throughout the Kingdom and GCC.
In-house chipset design and development — building the silicon foundation for next-generation ROACM-enabled networking hardware.
ROACM creates a smart, direct pathway between source and destination — a route established once per session, rather than re-calculated at every hop. Combined with Short CRC for ultra-efficient error detection, the result is a fundamental shift in data-plane architecture.
Source and destination establish a logical session. Each intermediate node contributes a 1-byte index pair, building a complete path map in the packet header.
Each node reads only its forwarding index — no routing table lookups. Simple index matching at wire speed replaces complex packet processing.
Dynamic re-optimization when congestion is detected. Alternate paths are established without disrupting existing connections.
Automatic reconnection around failed links or ports. New paths created while maintaining session continuity and minimizing data loss.
| Challenge | Traditional Networking | ROACM + Short CRC |
|---|---|---|
| Latency | 10–100 µs per hop | ~0.2 µs/km (propagation delay) |
| Energy Efficiency | High power at each router | 60–80% reduction in power use |
| CRC Processing | Full frame recalculation per hop | Header-only CRC — 34× faster |
| Bandwidth Expansion | Requires new hardware | 40%+ gain via protocol innovation |
| Security | Address-based encryption | Quantum-resistant session routing |
| Scalability | Dependent on large routing tables | Scales linearly with sessions |
A capability-by-capability comparison showing how ROACM stacks up against today's dominant forwarding protocols — TCP/IP, MPLS, and Segment Routing.
| Capability | ROACM | TCP/IP | MPLS | Seg. Routing |
