Smart Cities

Future thinking on Smart Cities and the role of telecoms

We are experts in overcoming the issues and challenges of Smart Cities, campuses and other complex developments.  In addition to consulting on the World's first gigabit everywhere, incumbent network and developing the first near national broadband network in the Gulf, we help premier developments and locations deliver world-class services to tenants and businesses.

We have produced a number of white papers on Smart Cities - reflecting our commitment to the topic.  Our partner Richard Jones was formerly the Chairman of the FTTH Council MENA - Smart Cities Committee and co-founded another Smart Cities organisation.

'The Law and Smart Cities' is covered in an interesting paper written with the assistance of noted telecoms law firm, Charles Russell Speechlys. Download it here.
