Huawei rolls out WiFi connectivity for Ajman Municipality
DUBAI, June 17, 2015
Huawei, a leading information and communications technology (ICT) solutions provider, has extended its network accessibility with the deployment of WiFi for the Ajman Municipality.
The solution will deliver widespread coverage across all of its municipal buildings, said a statement.
To quickly adapt to the challenges created by the consumerisation of IT, government services are realising the need to transform their network architectures, it said.
The rapid developments of new services such as mobile applications, cloud computing, Big Data, social networking and the Internet of Things (IoT) are driving many government entities to develop systems that can cater for real-time performance, mobility, scalability and higher-quality experiences for their users.
Replacing a wired infrastructure, Huawei deployed a secured wireless environment at the municipality enabling a more connected and more productive mobile workforce.
In addition, the WiFi solution will provide the municipality with a flexible and comprehensive infrastructure that is capable of supporting sustainable development and future growth of the network.
The project marks the beginning of the municipality’s commitment to turn its vision 2021 of building a knowledge economy into a reality, said the statement.
Yousuf Mohammed Al Shaiba, director of Smart Services Development Department, said: “The deployment of the WiFi network marks the first step in delivering the promises we set out in our vision 2021 for Ajman. We believed that in order to take our Ajman vision 2021 from concept to reality, we had to first become a smart organisation.
“Huawei’s WiFi solution future-proofs our network, offers connectivity services to citizens visiting our facilities and gives our employees increased flexibility to work at any location on-site.”
Sufian Dweik, vice president of Huawei Enterprise in the UAE, said: “Developing an internal intelligent connected infrastructure, which offers its employees the latest in WiFi connectivity, is a powerful way for Ajman Municipality to start delivering against its 2021 vision.
“The municipality is now able to offer extended WiFi capabilities across its main office and six remote sites of the municipal buildings. Up to 700 users are able to be connected on a fast, flexible and secure wireless network at the same time.” - TradeArabia News Service
