Huawei, a leading global information and communications technology (ICT) solutions provider, shared its vision for a future of connected possibilities that will be made real with the advent of 5G technology during the GSMA Mobile 360-Middle East Conference, which was held on the sidelines of GITEX 2016.

Addressing an audience of regional ICT professionals at the event, Huawei’s President of Wireless Marketing Operations for Wireless Network Product Line, Qiu Heng, highlighted a future where the impact of 5G will extend beyond the traditional ICT industry to touch on every aspect of modern life as we know it, with everything mobile and everything connected.

£5G is being developed at just the right time, when the world is demanding better, faster, higher capacity connectivity to accommodate the explosion of connected devices that are poised to help us power everything from autonomous cars and industrial facilities, to enabling connected education, healthcare and smart cities. This demand is driving real innovation in the telecoms space and has led to a collaborative approach by global players to define a new global network technology led by 4 key success factors ‘ unified standards, spectrum availability on a global level, key technologies development and global collaboration,’ said Heng. 

‘The development of 5G will enable a host of advanced and new technologies to become a part of everyday life,’ Heng added. ‘With speeds of up to 10Gbps, Enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB) will affect every aspect of modern day life, from augmented and virtual reality to self-driving vehicles, from smart homes and buildings, to mission critical applications and smart city technologies.’

Heng stressed the importance of adding more connections and enabling digital transformation prior to the introduction of 5G. 

Huawei continues to work closely with various operators across the region, in an effort to drive 5G development forward in the Middle East.

In May, Huawei was named the ‘Best 5G Innovator in MENA’ at inaugural LTE & 5G MENA Awards in Dubai.  Huawei also received the ‘Biggest Contribution to 5G Development’ at the 5G World Summit last year, for its role in leading research and development around fifth generation networks.

Mobile 360 ‘ Middle East is designed to cover the latest innovations developing in the region and outlines specific topics such as 5G, connected living, identity, IoT, privacy and security. The two-day conference features thought leaders from across the region and representatives from the largest MNOs, the most exciting technology suppliers and industry movers and shakers.

Dubai, UAE: A recent Dubai Chamber of Commerce and Industry analysis, released on the occasion of its participation in GITEX Technology Week 2016 predicted that the Dubai consumer electronics market size is forecast to grow at 4.7% over the next 4 years to exceed $3bn by 2020. 

According to the analysis based on latest UAE retail sales data from Euromonitor, the portable consumer electronics sub-category is expected to keep its lead with a 2020 sales forecast of $1.27bn.

Also, the computers and peripherals sub-category is forecast to retain its size at $937m, whereas in-home consumer electronics are expected to gain some traction to reach $900m; while no growth will take place under in-car entertainment sub-category with a sales forecast of $23m. 

The analysis highlights Dubai’s retail sales activity which continued to show growth despite mounting pressure from low oil prices and rising global economic uncertainties. Such resilience is attributed to solid fundamentals that include rising population and incomes together with a steady influx of tourists to the emirate.

In terms of future growth, in-home consumer electronics is forecast to lead the 4 sub-categories with a Compound Annual Growth Rate CAGR of 7.6% between 2015 and 2020, portable consumer electronics is forecast to follow with a CAGR of 6.4%.

Growth is set to cool off in the computer and peripherals sub-category with a forecast CAGR of 0.9%; while in-car entertainment is only expected to retain its size with a CAGR of 0.7% over the forecast period.

Market size

The analysis’ estimate of Dubai’s consumer electronics market size during 2015 stands at $2.4bn after effectively expanding at a CAGR of 8.9% over the past 5 years.

Total sales for the category stem from portable consumer electronics ($930m), computers and peripherals ($902m), in-home consumer electronics ($621m) and in-car entertainment ($22m).

In terms of growth, in-home consumer electronics have led the 4 sub-categories with a CAGR of 17% between 2010 and 2015, computers and peripherals followed with a CAGR of 6.9%, while portable personal electronics came in 3rd after growing at a CAGR of 6.8%.

In-car entertainment did not do as good, as it saw its size shrink at a CAGR of -3.5% over the same period.

Recent developments

Market observers indicate that the main trend seen last year in consumer electronics sales is the gradual move towards more compact and multifunctional devices, especially those that offer internet connectivity, with consumers’ lifestyles becoming increasingly highly mobile and fast paced.

As a result, items such as tablets and smartphones are enjoying solid growth in sales. However, the increasing quality, processing power, and range of applications offered by these devices are taking market share from many other items, such as digital cameras, portable mp3 players, DVD players, laptops and desktops.

Dubai’s electronics and appliance specialist retailers continue to be the leading channel in consumer electronics due to their advantage in having a wide product selection and price range, as well as offering expert advice and tailored recommendations.

It is worth noting that the number of electronics and appliance specialist retailer outlets is strongly linked with the opening of new malls and shopping centres. Moreover, hypermarkets are also showing strength, with leading chains such as Carrefour and Lulu Hypermarkets competing to offer wide product ranges at very reasonable prices. 

The strong presence if shopping-malls in the emirate has limited the size of internet retailing channel. However, store based electronics retailers are realizing that having a complimentary internet retailing site is becoming increasingly important to driving sales of consumer electronics in their stores, with many consumers checking prices and models online before or during shopping trips.

Dubai’s young population is interested in technological developments and keep up to date with the latest innovations. In addition, many consumers see electronic gadgets such as smartphones, tablets and smart watches as status symbols.

Another sub-category, the home audio and cinema has benefited greatly from the residents’ frequent purchases and product upgrades as it saw its sales volume rise by 16% last year, despite the high price tags. A similar growth rate is seen in sales of ‘Smart TVs’, which kept gaining popularity at the expense of -28% decline in demand for conventional TVs.

Arrow Electronics, Inc., (NYSE: ARW) will showcase a range of next-generation hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI), flash storage, software-defined infrastructure, and advanced security solutions from leading technology vendors at the upcoming edition of the GITEX Technology Week. Research indicates that the HCI market is emerging as one of the fastest growing and most valuable technology segments in the industry. In fact, the International Data Corporation expects new data centre investments will leverage converged or hyper-converged infrastructures to support both public and private cloud deployments across the Middle East and Africa market, with a forecast growth rate of 12 percent in 2016.

‘We continue to see the HCI approach garnering attention of IT leaders and business stakeholders as they strive to transform data centre infrastructure into a more agile, scalable, and predictable platform, while operating under budget and resource constraints to meet ever-changing business requirements,’ said Vimal Kocher, managing director for the Middle East region of Arrow’s enterprise computing solutions business. ‘In addition to the assessment study, we will also be hosting a series of technical workshops, lunch-and-learns, and cost-and-benefit analysis sessions at the in-house lab and Proof-of-Concept Solution Centre at the Arrow Dubai office in the coming months. We aim to provide consultative advices and practical solutions to help customers and partners realise transformative benefits delivered by HCI in addressing many IT challenges.’

Designed as a hybrid and agile IT infrastructure, HCI employs software-defined technology to integrate compute, storage, networking and virtualisation resources into one centrally managed console, or cluster. HCI creates a pool of unified virtual infrastructure that can be shared by multiple applications and lines of business, allowing for dynamic scaling and reduced complexity and fragmentation. HCI can also improve backup and recovery capability. The financial benefits of HCI include not only savings on capital expenditures but also lower total cost of ownership and operational expenses.

Among the innovative technology solutions on display at Arrow’s booth (Hall 2, G2-1) will be Dell EMC hyper-converged appliance VxRail’ and its industry-leading flash products. ‘Based on VMware’s vSphere and Virtual SAN, and Dell EMC software, VxRail is the only integrated, preconfigured, and pre-tested VMware hyper-converged infrastructure appliance on the market. VxRail enables faster, better, and simpler management of consolidated workloads, virtual desktops, business-critical applications, and remote office infrastructure. It provides a predictable and scalable path to an automated, software-defined infrastructure environment,’ said Havier Haddad, Channel & Alliance director for Turkey, Eastern Europe, Middle East and Africa of Dell EMC.

More than 30 technology specialists from Check Point, Dell EMC, F5, Forcepoint, Intel Security, Netscout, RSA, and Trend Micro will join a team of Arrow’s business solution consultants at the GITEX Technology Week to provide insights to solution providers and enterprises on emerging trends including virtualisation, software-driven infrastructures, and clouding computing, to name a few.

Arrow will also launch a study to help enterprises evaluate their current data centre capability, and assess which HCI solutions and best practices can help them transform their data centres to meet complex business needs in the digital economy.

Dubai ‘ Dubai Customs has launched an initiative to closely observe such behaviors and acts that might put at risk people’s health and work environment safety within Customs centers.

Dubai Customs is very much committed to maintaining a healthy and safe work environment, by implementing a Health and Safety Policy at all DC facilities.

The Acting Director of Administration Affairs at Dubai Customs, Khawla Slaes, said that the initiative aims at reinforcing positive safety practices as well as identifying and addressing behavioural risks, in a bid to avoid physical injuries and damage to property. 

‘As part of the initiative, discussions of safe work practices will be encouraged among employees at customs centres,’ said Ms Slaes.

She explained that the first phase of the initiative would be implemented through the Command & Control Rooms, whose personnel are highly trained and equipped to handle and set straight reported actions. Health and safety ‘ endangering actions will be recorded using surveillance camera monitors and an incident report will be raised to the concerned entity to carry on corrective measures, either instantly or within 20 days depending on the nature of the incident.  

‘The Command & Control Room was chosen as it is well-equipped with technical devices and individuals to receive and address reported misconducts and practices,’ she said.

The Maintenance Department of RTA’s Rail Agency has rolled out the utilization of 3D printing technology on the Dubai Metro.  The team has been able to research and start to print parts for the subsystems of the TVMs (Ticket Vending Machines), ticket gates and other metro assets across the network.

‘The 3D printing technology is advancing at a rapid pace across the world and RTA is strongly inclined to be a forerunner in this 3D generation by highlighting the world’s best practices adopted in the rail industry.  Future scope includes developments that are required to manage obsolescence, which is a huge burden of any railway worldwide,’ said AbdulMohsin Ibrahim Younes, CEO of RTA’s Rail Agency.

‘The 3D printing technology would enable RTA to keep the Dubai metro assets in service longer while driving down the cost of parts and in turn passing this saving back to the customer.  An example of this is that when small parts are needed, normal practice dictates a local manufacturer would need to produce hundreds to justify his cost,’ added Younes.  

‘Using 3D technology stops this waste so the team at the Rashidiya Depot can now produce items made in hundreds singularly.  Using 3D technology in a way that means much lower costs as the team can produce items when required and on demand while reducing carbon emissions.’

While RTA realizes the importance and can see the benefits of the 3D printing inside the workshop, further discussion is now taking place to enhance the facility with a future goal to print larger spares for other systems across the Dubai Metro. 

‘Within a short span of time and considering that 3D printing technology is still relatively new, RTA had made quick progress to understand and accept this technology for use while implementing it to save costs, improve quality and ensure continuing availability of the Dubai Metro Rail Systems for its customers for many years to come,’ concluded Younes.

According to Gartner the public cloud services market in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region is projected to grow 18.3% in 2016 to total USD 879.3 million. And as the region witnesses an increased shift to software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications and cloud-based services, geographically distributed enterprises are re-evaluating their wide-area networking requirements and turning to software-defined wide-area networking (SD-WAN) for cost-effective, agile and automated branch office connectivity. In line with this, during the upcoming GITEX Technology Week, global leader in broadband and hybrid WAN solutions Silver Peak will showcase its advanced Unity EdgeConnect SD-WAN solution, which provides distributed enterprises with secure, reliable virtual overlays to connect users to applications.

Overlays provide an abstraction layer that virtualises the underlying transport, and enables network administrators to quickly configure and deploy wide-area networks, cost effectively securely and at scale,’ explained Bhaskar Peruri, Regional Manager, Middle East at Silver Peak.

The Silver Peak Unity EdgeConnect SD-WAN solution, which enables the firm to deliver on its vision of virtual application overlays, empowers enterprises to dramatically reduce the cost and complexity of building a WAN by leveraging any combination of broadband transport to connect users to applications without compromising application performance.

‘Silver Peak Unity EdgeConnect solutions enable IT organisations to augment or replace their legacy MPLS networks with enterprise-grade broadband, further ushering in the age of the software-defined wide area network. It also delivers highly enhanced application visibility and control,’ added Peruri. ‘With a number of successful customer deployments across the region, we’re looking forward to continued success in enabling and empowering our extensive partner network’.
