Dubai Creek Harbour Smart Community Needs All-Optical 10GE Network

Dubai Creek Harbour is a leading international smart community located at heart of a bold new vision for Dubai developed by Emaar Properties. The mixed-use development offers over 7.3 million SM of residential space and 3.2 million SM of retail, hotel, office, cultural and community space, creating a high density urban district capable of accommodating over 200,000 residents, and 450,000 living and working population. The master plan incorporates a permeable accessibility network composed of streets, squares, parks and plazas, allowing people a range of choices in moving from place to place within the community. The mega-development covers 6 square kilometre and is described as "the World of Tomorrow." Dubai Creek Harbor represents the frontier in contemporary life and work with spectacular cultural offerings, world class residences and offices. BMS service, video and Wi-Fi backhaul consumes huge bandwidth in the density scattered high-rises. Emaar aims to construct an all-optical 10GPON network with advantages such as large bandwidth, high security and reliability, flexible. All of which can provide an OPEX saving and future-oriented network.
