Nedaa, the Dubai Government security networks provider has commissioned Nokia to deploy a smart city solution based on a 5G-ready next-generation network that will enable high-bandwidth voice, video and other data applications for mission-critical services and the Internet of Things (IoT) applications.
The full scope of the project includes the supply of comprehensive security solutions, core and radio access solutions, IP/MPLS and optical and microwave backhaul network, along with professional services.
Network resources will be shared by various government agencies and departments, enabling the provision of seamless connected services to address stringent requirements for critical communications.
This latest project with the Government of Dubai builds on Nokia’s existing working relationship with the city. In 2001, Nokia started to work with public safety communication networks in Dubai, and the current project will be a continuation to keep Dubai a safe and smart city for its residents and visitors.

Nokia has been an integral part of Dubai’s security communications network since 2001, and the company’s eagerness to adapt to our new, stringent security requirements gives us the confidence to make our city the safest and smartest in the world.
