Huawei, a leading global ICT solutions provider, is hosting a two-day global gathering of government leaders from the public safety and security sector at its Safe City Summit 2016, being held in Dubai on May 17 and 18.
Themed, ‘Leading New ICT, Making Cities Safer’, the event will see local, regional and international guests attend workshops to gain insights on how cities around the world are deploying new ICT solutions from Huawei to protect their city’s property and assets, the safety of its citizens and visitors, and its emergency-service operations.
The Safe City Summit 2016 workshops will provide attendees with Huawei’s insights on trends in safe city construction and the key solutions helping to create a consolidated IT platform that is critical to providing more efficient emergency response services and quicker threat mitigation processes.
“By 2025, 27 mega cities will exist, placing extraordinary pressure on public transportation, hospitals, waste management systems, and the power grid. Big data will play an important role in the future of the safe cities, with video surveillance, mobile devices, and social media generating vast amounts of data that command and control centres will need to interpret, analyse and action,” said Fan Siyong, Vice President, Enterprise Business Group, Huawei. “The Internet of Things, IoT, is also driving a revolution in how cities are organized, with new ICT innovation helping to solve concerns around transportation, energy supply, social infrastructure, economic stability, as well as physical infrastructure and security.”
Huawei will demonstrate how its leading ICT solutions help governments around the world leverage data, connectivity and interoperability to address public safety and security concerns. Together with government agencies, telecom operators, technology partners, industry analysts, and opinion leaders from across the region, Huawei is sharing its global know-how to better connected, more efficient emergency response services and quicker threat mitigation processes to ensure public safety.
