Huawei inks deal to promote IoT in Middle East

Huawei and Nextek partner
Huawei signed an agreement with Nextek Solutions and Quectel to promote the growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) in the Middle East.

Huawei will work with Nextek Solutions, an IT & software provider and integrator, and Quectel, a key supplier of wireless modules, to build Narrowband IoT (NB-IoT) solutions that target the needs of regional organizations.

Smart city projects are driving the demand for Internet of Things (IoT) in the Middle East.

“The key to driving Smart City development in the region is to create an ecosystem of partners and vendors working together to co-create solutions that precisely target the needs of their respective vertical sector,” says Su Wang, vice president of Marketing, Huawei Middle East.

Karim Rahemtulla, managing director of Nextek; and Doron Zhang, senior vice president of Quectel, were instrumental in associating with Huawei for the IoT program.

Huawei earlier partnered with Etisalat to launch the first trial of Smart Parking in the Middle East region. Huawei tied with Jeddah Municipality to implement smart city solution in the region. Zain has already deployed IoT solutions in KSA with the help of Huawei, aimed at ensuring a better life for its citizens.

Huawei has deployed its Hosting Center that serves as a secure platform for operators in the Middle East region.

Huawei’s OpenLab in Dubai provides a platform to test and customize a variety of technologies to target the vertical sectors most relevant to the Middle East, particularly Public Safety, Smart Cities, Transportation, Education, and Oil & Gas.
