Huawei Launches Smart City Center Of Excellence - GITEX 2014, Day 3

With cities across the Middle East becoming more intelligent through connected infrastructure, Huawei—a leading global information and communications technology (ICT) solutions provider—announced a full program of activities to help 'Build a Better Connected World' at this year's GITEX Technology Week through an end-to-end portfolio of Smart City solutions and expertise. Huawei's Smart City focus at GITEX follows a recent IDC report that states government spending in the Middle East and Africa is set to top $8billion, a 12% increase as more regional government and online services.

Such activities focuses on key ICT trends in the Middle East including Software-Defined-Networking (SDN), cloud computing, Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD) policies and Big Data storage–all of which are evolving rapidly and consequently demand more flexible, reliable and secure ICT infrastructure. Huawei is also previewing how and expanded portfolio of vertical industry solutions can be used by regional businesses to create a competitive advantage in sectors such as Oil & Gas, Power, Transportation, Government, Hospitality, Education and Healthcare.
