Smartworld, a leading master systems integrator and next generation ICT service provider in the Middle East, which launched its Gigabit capable network in Dubai World Central (DWC) last year during MEBA, has achieved a new milestone by implementing ‘Next Generation’ connectivity for Dubai Airshow 2013. The event runs from November 17 to November 21, 2013 at the purpose built facility for the event at DWC. This year’s edition, which will be featuring over 1,000 exhibitors from all around the world, is expected to be visited by over 60,000 trade visitors and over 1,500 media practitioners.
For catering to the ICT needs of the event, Smartworld extended the reach of its GPON Network to the venue in DWC, which has already won numerous accolades and awards since its inception last year. Up to 400 telecom services are expected to be delivered during the show through it. Smartworld has spread its network through 30 telecom rooms and cabinets specially installed for the event. The venue consists of a main Exhibition hall and Royal pavilion with an additional 120 chalets located on the Airside. Some of the services made available for users at Dubai Airshow include 100 MB Internet connectivity, IP Connect Services and ISDN services amongst others.
The network is not just catering to the fixed network needs of participants but providing a critical backbone to the mobile network. The Smartworld team has installed a network designed to serve seven mobile sites within the area, providing 2G, 3G and 4G services. The mobile coverage is included in the outdoor and indoor facilities of the event. According to Smartworld senior executives, the installed solutions represent a technical milestone for the region, as all the links are being provided via a common Optical Network Termination (ONT) unit, a standard based CPE designed for deployments in Fiber-to-Premises applications.
"We are proud to be associated with such a prestigious event like Dubai Airshow. Through our implemented solutions, participants and visitors can remain fully connected to the rest of the world via the 400 offered services of our GPON network," said Anurag Verma, Project Manager, Smartworld
The installed solutions are the result of the high commitment of Smartworld’s telecom operations team, who have closely coordinated with Etisalat service providers, Organizers and Dubai Aviation City Corporation’s team to ensure success of the event.
“The event allows us to throw the spotlight on Smartworld’s technical expertise and leadership--having installed the essential connectivity and telco solutions that the participants will be using on-site at the event. The solutions are powered by the region’s first and only GPON network, which offers unprecedented networking and communication capabilities. In fact, Smartworld’s GPON set-up can handle the critical requirements of the Airshow, with high bandwidth and unmatched flexibility. The network also provides ultrahigh bandwidth IP services and at the same time caters to the legacy network, thus meeting the challenging requirements of different users,” concluded Verma.
Smartworld achieved a distinction with the GPON network in DWC, placing them amongst the league of prestigious gigabit capable precincts of the world and provides Next Generation Network (NGN) capabilities to ICT users in DWC. The NGN is the first of its kind 'Open Access' network in the region, as one access can be used by multiple services providers.
