The smart technology is being utilised at all three terminals, including flight information display system (FIDS) and video walls.
Wesam Jammoul,(pictured left)  senior director, digital implementation services, said: “Our SAS solutions have been designed to meet the present day demands and requirements for advanced and cutting edge ICT technology for the region’s rapidly growing aviation segment. We are proud to be associated with Dubai International’s impressive growth and Dubai Airports’ desire to provide the best solutions in terms of technology, interoperability and integration with existing system.”

This includes the state-of-the-art FIDS solution and 5x5 Video Wall with full High Definition (HD) output for all video wall screens using powerful and best-fit controllers at Dubai International.

Established in 2008, Smartworld has a strong track record of successful deployment and implementation of the state-of-the-art ICT system at Al Maktoum International in DWC and the installation and implementation of a first-of-its-kind Open and Equal Access Gigabit Passive Optical Network (GPON) at DWC.

Jammoul said rapidly changing technology implies a dynamic demand scenario. “Customers are more focused on solutions rather than a single brand. Customised solutions hence become all the more important. Smartworld has worked with Dubai Airports and other partners to create vendor-independent environment solution with open and standard protocols. This solution provides full freedom to choose the best breed vendors,” he said.

Our scope includes the full 24/7 onsite support and service desk.
