Allied Telesis Inc., a global provider of secure IP/Ethernet switching solutions and an industry leader in the deployment of IP Triple Play networks, has revealed its plans to leverage the growing IP video surveillance market in the Middle East. The move complements a recent Frost and Sullivan report estimating the Middle East IP video surveillance market to be worth USD 200 million (AED 734.5 million). With strong growth in the industry expected to continue until 2013, Allied Telesis is taking advantage of the unique opportunity to increase security through the use of sophisticated networking solutions for IP video surveillance applications, targeted at both enterprise and government customers.
According to the Frost and Sullivan report, the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Qatar have been identified as the three major markets where mostly analog video surveillance equipment has been actively deployed over the last few years. The region’s increasing number of infrastructure projects combined with the advent of new digital technologies and the introduction of government regulations and guidelines in safety and security have become major drivers in the sale of IP video surveillance equipment. In the UAE alone, the government and hotel sectors have been identified as sectors that have heavily spent on IP video surveillance equipment in the last few years. In fact, the government sector has spent millions in upgrading ecurity surveillance systems to complement the number of priority infrastructure projects like the Al Maktoum Airport, the Dubai Metro and the Abu Dhabi Metro project.
“The growth potential in the Middle East IP video surveillance equipment market, which can be partially attributed to the vast number of green field projects, makes the region a key market for us, especially with market trends indicating that video surveillance as a service will take the spotlight within the coming years,” said Christian Schwaiger, Vice President Vertical Markets. “Amidst the rising demand, our goal is to provide innovative applications with advanced capabilities that also offer advantages of instant access to images stored and retrieved on computers. In this pursuit, we are currently working to establish and maintain strong business relationships with security consultants and local system integrators to fully leverage the Middle East market.”
Allied Telesis IP surveillance solution is built on the company\'s award-winning Layer 2 switches for small-to-medium-sized installations and Layer 3 technologies for larger environments. By adopting these solutions, organisations can benefit from proven technologies that enable applications to converge on an intelligent and resilient infrastructure, linking components of its digital security solution, including video, access control, intrusion detection, fire and life systems, cameras, video management software, servers, storage, clients (PCs), and the network. Recent advances in digital video surveillance systems have allowed surveillance cameras to be more flexible and can easily integrate into any computer operating system. The advantages of digital video surveillance cameras, like ease of installation and use, as well as high resolution and high quality video, have become major factors that have driven the surveillance camera industry’s growth in the region. Allied Telesis will be showcasing its products at this year’s GITEX event, from October 17-21, 2010 at the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre (hall No. 4).
“The IP video surveillance market continues to grow in the Middle East region as it is driven by key factors like the continuous flow of infrastructure development projects combined with the rise in terrorist threats. Video surveillance has provided a great deterrent to malicious behaviour and an excellent tool in solving the mystery of past misdemeanours. Given its high-level efficiency and effectiveness, the video surveillance industry can expect further advancements in terms of technologies, and our focus is to be at the forefront of this market resurgence. Another key driver in the region’s IP video surveillance growth is the presence of highly skilled IT security consultants and integrators who have been identified as generally more tech savvy than their European and U.S. counterparts. We would like to work closely with them and provide them with the necessary tools, products, references for them to provide quality solutions to the customers,” concluded Schwaiger.
