Nedaa will showcase its industry-leading solutions and applications at the 24th edition of Intersec 2023, the UAE’s premier emergency services, security, and safety event. Taking place in Dubai from January 17-19 2023, the event is expected to draw leading security organizations and first responder agencies in the region and beyond.

Nedaa will display its range of advanced solutions along with partners Esharah Etisalat Security Solutions and Airbus. The Nedaa pavilion will feature live demonstrations of state-of-the-art products and applications deployed by these two major corporations which are entirely run on Nedaa’s networks. Nedaa has rapidly acquired a reputation for reliability and technology innovation among the various government and private sector entities that currently operate using its 4G network.

One of the highlights this year will be the future-proof COREMOTE Tactics solution which, operating on Nedaa’s 4G network, allows user entities to not only manage a mobile field force remotely but also create and provide situational awareness across multiple (hybrid) critical communication networks. In addition to situational awareness features, the unit features automatic vehicle location management, fleet management as well as a dispatching solution.

Another major attraction will be Esharah’s Everbridge Signal, a comprehensive set of Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) tools that offer fool-proof protection for organisations that are critically dependent on fast and secure communications. Airbus will display an array of its latest communication products run on Nedaa facilities, with its Tactilon Agnet solution occupying pride of place. Showcasing a host of smart features such as Tactilon Agnet Voice Assitant (AVA) and Tactilon Agnet Query, the system offers increased safety and efficiency in mission-critical communications for end-users. Other innovative solutions on display include Internet of Things (IoT) Wearing Vest and TACteam, a tool specifically designed to plan tactical aspects of operations in crisis rooms.

Speaking ahead of the event, Nedaa’s Chief Executive Officer H.E. Mansoor Bu Osaiba said, “In an increasingly uncertain world, the importance of public safety and security cannot be overemphasized. We at Nedaa take pride in contributing to this area, and especially in providing reliable, secure, and high-performing infrastructure and solutions to organisations tasked with maintaining this safety. When first responders, who operate in critical and high-risk, high-pressure environments, choose Nedaa, we cannot hope for greater recognition.”

H.E. Bu Osaiba added, “Going beyond security matters, in this digital era we are also helping to transition Dubai towards a new era of smart mobility and infrastructure and intelligent living in as smooth a manner as possible. Even as we engage with competitors and prospective customers from across the world at Intersec, we can legitimately claim to have contributed to, and be well aligned with, the vision of the UAE leadership that has made the country one of the world’s safest places to live.”

Western Digital will be showcasing its latest in smart video solutions at Intersec Dubai and visitors will be able to see innovations in high-capacity, high-performance storage solutions for advanced, AI-enabled, always-on smart video recorders, appliances, and servers. Debuting live, the company’s new hard disk drives (HDDs) are loaded with cutting-edge technologies, including OptiNAND technology, energy-assisted PMR (ePMR), triple-stage actuator (TSA), and HelioSeal to deliver the industry’s highest CMR areal density at 2.2TB per platter, resulting in 22TB CMR HDDs for its customers.

On display will be Western Digital’s new 22TB range of WD Purple hard disk drives (HDDs), engineered specifically for smart video and includes three product solutions: WD Purple Pro HDD, WD Purple HDD, and WD Purple microSD card. Offering improved efficiency for overall video playback, these devices bring reliable, surveillance-class storage that has been tested for compatibility with a wide range of smart video systems. WD Purple Pro drives are optimised to handle up to 64 single-stream HD cameras as well as many of the latest smart cameras that transmit multiple streams. It offers high reliability with an MTBF of up to 2.5 million hours for advanced smart video solutions that operate in 24/7 environments.

Moreover, the company will be showcasing its industry-leading Ultrastar DC HC570 22TB CMR hard drives to support cloud service providers (CSPs), video surveillance as a service (VSaaS) providers, telcos, and system integrators. Delivering the industry’s highest CMR areal density, these drives help customers store more data and videos in the same footprint, the lower total cost of ownership (TCO), and help meet sustainability goals. Additionally, one of the new technology innovations in its 22TB Ultrastar HDD is a feature uniquely enabled by OptiNAND that combines the performance of write cache enabled (WCE) mode and the data protection of write cache disabled (WCD) mode, offering the best of both scenarios without compromise.

And finally, visitors to the Western Digital stand (stand S1-J11) will also witness a live demonstration of its storage platform system, the Ultrastar Data102, addressing the demanding storage needs of large enterprise customers, storage OEMs, cloud service providers, as well as resellers/integrators requiring dense, shared HDD. With unique IsoVibe and ArcticFlow technologies for a cool reliable operation, the Data102 provides up to 2.2PB of raw storage in 4U using the company’s 22TB CMR HDDs in a compact and efficient form factor.

Intersec will be taking place in Dubai World Trade Center from January 17th to January 19th, 2023.

Airbus is to participate in Intersec 2023, the leading trade fair for safety, security, and fire protection. With a host of international visitors set to attend in search of next-generation safety and security solutions, Airbus will showcase its latest communication and collaboration devices, applications, and services, backed by cutting-edge technologies and deployable across segments including public safety, transport, utility, industry, and defence.

“In today’s rapidly evolving digital transformation era, companies and industries alike require impactful innovations that harness technological capabilities to redefine safety and security practices and elevate operational capabilities to newfound heights. Yet beforehand, industry experts and leaders must become acquainted with the newest generations of specialised products that meet such criteria. This is why Intersec holds such influential gravitas across the region and around the world, and this is why Airbus is thrilled to be participating and demonstrating the value our exhibiting solutions can deliver amidst challenging, highly pressurized operating environments,” explained Selim Bouri, Vice-president for Airbus Secure Land Communications in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East.
