Huawei has recently launched the “10KB LightOS” for further development. “LiteOS” is the “lightest” software of its kind, used to power a range of smart devices and can be utilized in every industry vertical.

When do you think the region will start to gain the benefits of smart cities and IoT?

If we look within the UAE we are very fortunate here that we have extensive high quality, high availability networks both on fixed and mobile broadband networks. The 4G coverage in the UAE is quite extensive but we are already working with operators to develop 5G networks.

Mobile internet, big data, cloud computing and smart devices are all playing a critical role in propelling the advancement of the ICT industry. Advanced wireless networks like 4 & 5G mobile broadband make ubiquitous connectivity possible, while cloud computing makes data sharing and integration, data mining and analysis possible. Unified Communications and Collaboration helps to make cross sector collaboration possible and increases urban management and emergency efficiency.

Development of faster MBB networks will help offer solutions for city leaders to address current challenges such as public security issues, shortage of educational and medical resources, traffic congestion, high pollution costs, decreasing energy productivity efficiency and food security issues.
