H.E.Khalifa Ibrahim Al Saleis said: “This partnership will consolidate existing security functions with new capabilities into a joint, integrated entity as both parties share knowledge and expertise. Through our collaboration with du, we plan to improve services provided by both companies and solidify industry partnerships, which are extremely vital for UAE’s digital economy, accelerating innovation, and supporting an entrepreneurial ecosystem.”

Ain Dubai, which stands over 250 metres tall, is the latest addition to Dubai’s skyline of world-record-breaking attractions. Du’s network will enrich countless tourists’ experiences by providing unique views of the city’s prominent sights from indoor, air-conditioned cabins. Because Ain Dubai is constantly rotating, traditional wired indoor mobile solutions cannot be utilised due to the wheel construction.

As data security becomes a greater challenge, du’s latest partnership with IBM will allow the Company to accelerate innovation in this field and develop more unique service solutions to meet wide range of end-user needs.

Ibrahim Nassir’s appointment as CHRO will also help EITC contribute to the government’s agenda and the company’s goals, such as building sustainable infrastructure and driving further digital transformation across the UAE.

Fahad Al Hassawi, CEO, said “I am very pleased that consumer and corporate confidence are on the mend. Our fixed services business delivered another solid quarter. Broadband net-adds accelerated to 52k thanks to an attractive service offering. In addition, we see corporate demand for fixed services returning this indicating that our commercial initiatives in mobile services are bearing fruit.”
