Leading global ICT solutions provider Huawei has signed an MOU with Dubai South to bring future-city capabilities and services to Dubai South’s Business Park Free Zone. Located at the gateway of Dubai South and comprising 11 modern buildings, the Business Park offers commercial space to support diverse sectors including aviation, logistics, general trading, finance, business consultancies, training institutions, retail, fitness and F&B.
“The MoU between Dubai South and Huawei will see the deployment of Huawei’s Smart City and Safe City Solutions to provide enhanced services to residents and businesses in the Park,” said Colin Hu, Managing Director of Huawei Enterprise, UAE. “Huawei will provide strategic counsel to support the development of a blueprint for Dubai South’s smart initiatives. Huawei will also share its global expertise through training sessions, expert workshops and guided visits to other key customer sites where Huawei Smart City solutions have been implemented.”
Huawei Smart City and Safe City Solutions deliver expertise in end-to-end network planning and the development of cutting-edge technologies by bringing together an open ecosystem of partners.
