As the UAE forges ahead with its ambitious digital transformation and sustainability goals, InfraX stands out as a key enabler within the ecosystem of Digital DEWA. During the 18th edition of the Telecom Review Leaders’ Summit, Telecom Review conducted an exclusive interview with Rashid Alahmedi, Chief Operating Officer, InfraX, to learn more about InfraX’s approach to responsible technology adoption, the company’s 2025 vision for tailored solutions, and the transformative impact of IoT networks on the future of connectivity.
How is InfraX promoting responsible tech adoption and supporting the UAE's ambitious digital transformation and sustainability objectives?
InfraX is part of an ecosystem of subsidiaries under Digital DEWA, a subsidiary fully-owned by the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority that is guided by objectives designed to support the digital transformation agenda in Dubai and the UAE.
By enabling services and creating partnerships, we are helping the ecosystem implement innovative solutions and services and adopt this digital transformation agenda. This highlights the benefits of the ecosystem and its key players in delivering cutting-edge technologies, adapting to the latest technologies, and implementing state-of-the-art networks and data center services.
In 2025 and beyond, how will InfraX continue to deliver its wealth of experience in providing tailored IoT solutions across private and public sectors?
We have committed to empowering all our clients and customers by providing different types of solutions and delivering different types of collaborative business models. We believe in partnerships that create win-win scenarios.
At the same time, in 2025, our focus will be on the main key objectives of the government entities in the UAE, specifically, in Dubai. We will focus on how we can help them and their digital transformation and how we can implement more use cases within the smart city, automation, and AI fields. This will be achieved through our ecosystem of companies and partners under the Digital DEWA and InfraX umbrella.
From your perspective, how will IoT networks impact wireless cellular success in the long run?
When we look at the demands presented by a connected world, everything will require a wireless connection. Therefore, at InfraX, we are collaborating with the operators and we are also building our own private network to provide multiple options for smart city system integrators and partners to deliver their use cases. This will help them deliver their solutions in areas that will increase adoption, improve smart city use cases, and create a mass-connected world.
