Dubai South, the largest single-urban master development focusing on aviation, logistics and real estate has announced a strategic partnership with Huawei, a provider of information and communications technology (ICT) infrastructure and smart devices.

According to WAM, the partnership entails the adoption of innovative digital technologies and solutions from Huawei to enable intelligent, connected, and sustainable communications infrastructure, data management, transportation, operations, security and other related services at Dubai South.

In his comments, Khalifa Al Zaffin, Executive Chairman of Dubai Aviation Corporation and Dubai South, said, “Dubai’s status as a worldwide communication hub has been activated and achieved through its relentless efforts towards innovation and investment in cutting-edge technology.

“The collaboration with Huawei enables us to build a connected aviation community capable of supporting sophisticated services that cater to the future of transportation and mobility. We are certain that our valued partners and customers will benefit from cutting-edge infrastructure through which they can offer bespoke services to their clients.”

Jerry Liu, CEO – Huawei UAE, said, “Huawei’s solutions already power some of the most prominent airport projects in the UAE. This partnership is yet another milestone in the pipeline of Huawei solutions that help develop regional economies through the latest digital technologies, underpinned by strong cybersecurity design that can address hot-button, board-level concerns, such as ransomware. Eventually, this project will set the benchmark for other connected communities towards the region’s rapid digitalisation.”

To develop a dynamic smart transportation system, Dubai South plans to deploy a fully connected, high-bandwidth, low-latency private network for massive machine interactions built on Huawei technology. Dubai South will also tap into Huawei’s expertise through designing an advanced integrated operations centre for centralised monitoring and control operations, traffic, security, and other services.
