Site Technology in association with Cisco and CommScope hosted a focused IT Defense Conference called ‘Borderless Network and Collaboration’ recently in Abu Dhabi to enable the selected senior management executives of various entities within defense sector to examine the latest technologies offered and adapt innovative business solutions for unique business requirements.
Rami Al-Naghi, Regional General Manager Gulf & ME, Site Technology said, “Government Sectors are leveraging to improve communication, process efficiencies and to effectively share intelligence information. It is now clear that these efforts require lowering communications and information-sharing barriers. Doing so would foster the compilation of more complete information and collaboration amongst the key players who would speed and improve both, the analysis and quality of decisions.”
“Site Technology is well positioned today with the addition of the Network Integration Systems to the already existing inhouse solution portfolio to provide the defense sector with state of the art tailored solutions to meet the technological & security needs.” Al-Naghi added.
Ciaran Forde, Sales Managing Director, CommScope, re-emphasized on the advances in Infrastructure Technology for Broadband, Smart Buildings, Wireless and Data Center and said, “The conference gave us the opportunity to bring together key representatives from the defense sector in a setting that encouraged the exploration and analysis of enabling technologies. As the communication requirements of this sector continue to evolve, the pressure for networks to deliver more and more bandwidth is only matched by the requirement for technology to become smart, intelligent, self sensing, and ultimately allow systems and people to connect.”
Cisco also showcased its Mobile Defense Solutions enable optimizing the usage of several devices used at various military forces around the world. Paul also talked about Cisco products in the defense sector, such as Secure VPN, Mobility Solutions, Secure Warning Tone, IPICS, Unified Communications and the benefits of using IP COTS in the military.
Saeed Agha, Regional Sales Manager at Cisco UAE, added, “Coordination continues to be the hallmark of effective military operations. Defense agencies around the globe are migrating from traditional computing and collaboration infrastructures to more flexible, standards-based, secure solutions built upon IP-based applications, and networking technologies. Driving this migration is the need to deploy powerful new unified communications capabilities more quickly and cost-effectively, capabilities that enables faster collaboration and instant sharing of information, more agile deployments and greatly increased situational awareness through new levels of unified communications collaboration.”
This initiative was a success and helped delivering vital information to enable senior decision makers at the defense sector to tackle any issues related to technologies in collaboration and borderless network.
