Dubai, 21 Oct 2018:   Huawei, a leading global provider of information and communications technology (ICT) infrastructure and smart devices, signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Dragon INFO to develop a Video Cloud Policing Big Data Solution. The two companies signed the MoU at the region’s largest technology exhibition, GITEX, in Dubai.

An integrated artificial intelligence (AI) analysis tool for public security customers, the Video Cloud Policing Big Data Solution will enable intelligent crime investigation and prevention. It can analyze huge volumes of data to obtain valuable information on first time visitors, frequent access statistics, movement patterns and suspicious activity. It provides a holographic profile of key personnel, background information and activity track dynamics. On a wider scale, it supports cross-regional and global information sharing.

“This year’s AI theme at GITEX provides the ideal platform to launch this new collaboration,” said Mo Chen, Chief Executive Officer, Dragon INFO. “This intelligent new platform will enable us to deliver authorities with the tools to increase the safety and stability of our communities.”

Lin Xijiang, Director, Huawei Solutions Middle East Development Centre, added, “The Huawei-Dragon INFO partnership will help us bring the power of AI to deliver better public safety to the Middle East. It falls in line with our joint aim to support the national visions and agendas of regional governments in building diversified, knowledge-based economies, and safe communities.” 

Huawei’s AI portfolio includes its new Ascend series of AI chips – the world’s first AI IP and chip series designed for a full range of scenarios. The portfolio also includes new products and cloud services that are built on Ascend chip capabilities.  

The Huawei-Dragon INFO collaboration will be enabled by the emerging 5G broadband digital ecosystem. Globally, Huawei was first to unveil a full range of end-to-end 3GPP-compliant 5G product solutions, covering the core network, bearer network, base station and terminals, and the world’s first 5G chipset. Huawei is a pioneer in the emerging 5G technology which will provide users with multiple gigabit speeds within homes, offices and public spaces.
