The Chinese IT company Huawei hosted its Global Safe City Summit 2017, with the theme “Leading New ICT, The Road to Collaborative Public Safety” in Dubai in late April. More than 350 government customers, industry figures and partners took part in the two-day event, while Huawei introduced its C-C4ISR Collaborative Public Safety Solutions.
Fan Siyong, President of Public Sector of Huawei Enterprise Business Group, said: “As cities embrace digital transformation, new safety threats are emerging that need to be addressed by the public safety industry. We need to keep pace with social and technological developments and shift from a traditional city safety construction model to one of collaborative public safety. By building cross-region and cross-agency collaborative public safety systems that connect governments and citizens, we can help cities better prevent, detect, handle, and recover from various threats. The ‘collaborative’ method of C-C4ISR will be fundamental to digital transformation of the public safety industry. Using new ICT such as Internet of Things (IoT), Big Data, mobile broadband, and Software-Defined Networking (SDN), as well as cloud-pipe-device synergy, the solution will drive efficient collaboration among governmental agencies as well as between governmental agencies and citizens.”
