Transformed networks seen boosting digital experiences

Commscope defines digital transformation as the widespread adoption of emerging technologies that will shape the future of tomorrow. CommScope has consistently been at the forefront of shaping infrastructure, products and solutions that enable this transformation around the world. Commscope makes communication faster, easier and more efficient for today’s always-on world. We exist to enable and improve the way we learn, work and live, constantly challenging what’s available now and thinking beyond to meet the needs of what’s next.

If you take a look at the strategies of large organisation or government across the Middle East and you will find that they put technology at the forefront. In the region, we can see aggressive goals when it comes to adopting technology, such as the digitalisation of healthcare records, building smart cities and introducing autonomous vehicles. In the UAE, they have appointed a Minister of Artificial Intelligence.

The gap between what is technologically possible and how organisations are leveraging technology continues to grow. As the Middle East and Africa region reduces dependence on oil and diversifies revenue streams, investment in the digital economy is paving the way for a future of connectivity. 

During GITEX Technology Week 2019, CommScope will highlight its latest solutions to enable a smart future for network operators across the region:

Fiber for high-speed connectivity

Smart cities will be built on fibre. CommScope will be demonstrating fiber technologies for faster connectivity in buildings, the datacentre and central office.

Ultra-connected homes are reality

Consumers are experiencing an increasingly digital life and network operators are seeking ways to unlock the best user experience. CommScope will demonstrate how the company is delivering reliable, high-bandwidth Wi-Fi to every corner of the home and showcase how the smart media device brings connected home technologies together for a unique personalised experience. 

Connectivity for Smart Cities

As smart cities add new mobile-connected devices like security cameras and air quality sensors, they must have access to electricity. This is not always an easy task considering devices may be several hundred meters away from a power source. Network operators are using CommScope’s powered fiber cable systems to speed and simplify installation, and power these types of network devices.

Digital foundation for smarter buildings

As the number of connected devices grows, the location of these devices is becoming more important. CommScope’s automated infrastructure management system knows exactly what is connected, how it is connected and where it is located. The software automatically tracks changes, issues work orders, and documents the entire network. It also provides root-cause analysis in the event of failure, helping restore services faster.
