“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,” said Jerry Liu, CEO, Huawei UAE.
As part of the creation of a smart transportation system, Dubai South will deploy a fully connected, high-bandwidth, low-latency private network for massive machine interactions using Huawei’s technology. Huawei will also assist in the design of an advanced integrated operations centre for centralised monitoring and control operations, traffic, security, and other services. The two partners will also explore innovative smart transportation solutions to support a mixed-traffic, intelligent transport system for autonomous and driver-assisted vehicles.
Alongside the smart transportation system, Dubai South and Huawei will consider potential collaboration on an AI-enabled operational platform for diverse stakeholders, including aviation, logistics, education and training, leisure and hospitality and other sectors for operational purposes. The two organisations will also develop and promote unified international cybersecurity standards to safeguard digital transformation projects.
