Cisco to showcase digital solutions at IoT expo

DUBAI, May 26, 2015

Cisco will showcase its solutions designed to leverage digital transformation in order to embrace the Internet of Everything (IoE) that will help transform business models at un upcoming expo in Dubai, UAE.

The Internet of Things Expo 2015 (IoTX) will be held on June 8 and 9 at Dubai World Trade Centre.

As a lead sponsor of the event, Cisco will use IoTX as a platform to highlight the contribution of IoE to Dubai’s Smart City transformation in the build-up to the World Expo 2020 and beyond.

“In order for Middle East organizations, cities and communities to fully embrace the IoT today and the IoE of the future, institutions will need to become digitized,” said Rabih Dabboussi, general manager of Cisco in the UAE and a keynote speaker at the event.

“Becoming a digital business requires an agile IT model, and the ability to rethink core processes for the digital era. Embracing new security, cloud, mobile, social and analytics technologies required to fully digitize takes imagination, investment and expertise.

“Dubai is the perfect location for the inaugural Internet of Things Expo 2015 as the City has already made major strides in delivering the Smart City Vision as laid out by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, which can be showcased and provide a template for Smart City initiatives throughout the region. As the shift toward digitization accelerates, the IoE has the potential to further accelerate the Middle East region’s pace of change,” Dabboussi added.

At Cisco’s IoTX booth, video content and a live city display will be utilized to demonstrate various ‘real life’ Smart City scenarios including Smart Energy, Smart Transportation, Smart Parking, Retail, Healthcare and Remote Diagnostics.

“Imagine no more traffic jams, never having to search for a parking space, no more flight delays, having intelligent transportation for emergency services, and ensuring a better environment for our next generation of leaders – that’s what a Smart City will deliver,” Dabboussi concluded. – TradeArabia News Service
