The rising interconnectivity of smart home technology and its effect on safety and security will be discussed at this years Intersec show, being held between 17-19 January 2016 in Dubai
Information technology research and advisory firm, Gartner, predicts that 6.4bn ‘things’, from toasters and teapots to cars and hospital equipment, will be connected to the Internet by the end of 2016 worldwide.
According to event organisers, the rise in the number of opportunities for technological advancements in the Middle East will be highlighted at Intersec 2016 through a new Smart Home section.
“The growing appetite for smart home technology is driven by the ability to access and control devices remotely without having to be present physically. This technology has also opened up myriad enhancements in communications and security systems,” said Ahmed Pauwels, CEO of Messe Frankfurt Middle East, the organiser of Intersec.
“Digital surveillance and access control systems, face and biometric recognition infrastructure as well as improved digital communications have all become increasingly popular for corporations and individual users, especially in Dubai, the home of Intersec for the last 18 years.”
