The Middle East is ahead of the curve in adopting intelligent panels, as well as in adopting physical network security, said Ramzi Nassif, Managing Director for Leviton Middle East and Africa.<\/p>\n
\u201cOn intelligent panels and intelligent patching, the Middle East is now more advanced than many other parts of the world \u2013 we see more demand for these here than in Europe or the US,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cSecurity is also a key issue here, maybe more in government \u2013 we have products to secure your network or your panels, so nobody can get in and tamper, by mistake or intentionally. These are products that we bring into the region that are not used as much elsewhere,\u201d added Nassif.<\/p>\n
The vendor is demonstrating its Atlas-X1 datacentre solution, along with its Cat 8 40Gbit copper cabling, and 100Gbit fibre. Nassif said the days when the highest-bandwidth cabling systems were dismissed as being over-specced are long gone.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve been in this industry for 20 years, and if somebody had told me we\u2019d have 40Gbit cabling, I\u2019d have said they\u2019re dreaming. Now with the applications we have \u2013 even from the home, with PlayStations and IPTV \u2013 you need bigger bandwidth,\u201d said Nassif.<\/p>\n
He said Leviton has been very active in hospitality and government in Saudi Arabia, and public sector projects in Abu Dhabi: \u201cWe\u2019re working on smart cities \u2013 we did a big project in Abu Dhabi this year with JBM, our partner there, for all the infrastructure, and with Etisalat for the smart city Wi-Fi.\u201d \t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
