Leading UAE developer Deyaar has signed a five-year partnership agreement with technology major Huawei to provide smart home applications and state-of-the-art network facilities at its key projects in Dubai.

The deal will cover several elements, including the introduction of hi-tech networks and Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) capabilities in numerous properties, including Mont Rose, The Atria, Al Barsha Hotel, and Deyaar’s headquarters.

All its future projects will also be fitted with these solutions, said a statement from the company.

As per the agreement, Huawei will also work with Deyaar to develop technology plans for the Midtown residential project, which will include the next generation of smart homes, communities, and integrated
lifestyles.

This is not only reflected in the properties Deyaar builds but also applies internally as part of its new long-term strategic plan to adopt new technologies, in line with the UAE Vision 2021 and the growing use of smart technology in Dubai, it added.

Deyaar CEO Saeed Al Qatami said: "Connected homes are no longer a futuristic concept; they are realistically achievable today. With this Huawei pact, we are enabling the provision of smart home and advanced technology solutions for residents in our properties across Dubai, which will be equipped with the latest network infrastructure, cloud-based safety, and smart solutions to provide an elevated standard of living for our customers."

Colin Hu, the managing director, Huawei Enterprise, UAE, said: "Our partnership with Deyaar is
an excellent example of the expanding reach of the digital transformation here in the region."

"With technology changing at such a rapid pace, it is especially important for buildings to be equipped with scalable and sustainable network capabilities," stated Hu.

"Deyaar’s leadership rightly understand the need to develop cross-industry capabilities in IoT solutions, network security and smart technology in order for residents to enjoy a continuous high-level experience," he noted.

"Huawei has long advocated the fostering of such integration, and is committed to forming strategic partnerships with regional players like Deyaar in order to contribute positively to the Middle East’s emerging digital ecosystem," he added.

An additional aspect of the partnership will see increased security throughout Deyaar properties, with the implementation of Huawei’s CCTV Video Cloud solution.-TradeArabia News Service
