UAE's leading telcom services operator said its digital arm, Etisalat Digital has announced a strategic partnership with First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB) to deploy a cloud-based IoT smart building solution, providing FAB ‘anytime anywhere’ access and ease of operations across its entire portfolio.

 

This is the first deployment of a portfolio-wide IoT smart-building management system for any of the UAE banks, said a statement from Etisalat.

 

Group Chief Business Officer Salvador Anglada said: "By utilising our cloud-based IoT Smart Building Platform, all assets and systems within FAB’s buildings will be integrated and centralised into a single platform, providing ‘anytime anywhere’ access and ease of operations across its entire portfolio."

 

Banks own multiple buildings and also operate branches across the country, which require extensive facilities management, maintenance and operations, noted Anglada. 

 

Etisalat Digital’s Urban Intelligence solutions and IoT platform enables advanced and predictive analytics, which in turn provides unique insights into the buildings operations and empowers a truly smart facilities portfolio, he added.

 

FAB Executive VP and Head of Group Operations Vikas Anand said: "We are honoured to collaborate with Etisalat, one of the world’s leading telecom groups - and, like us, immensely proud of its Abu Dhabi roots - to implement its Urban Intelligence solutions. We look forward to a strong and successful relationship in this regard.".-TradeArabia News Service
