Dubai Design District signs MoU with Cisco.

Dubai Design District (d3) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Cisco to explore potential joint opportunities in deploying new smart services and applications in the development based on Cisco's Smart+Connected City (S+CC) solutions portfolio and overall ICT vision.

d3 is the newest of Tecom Investments' Free Zone business parks with 11 buildings currently under construction. It is also the greenfield pilot site of Dubai's Smart City project and therefore will showcase a range of cutting edge ICT elements designed to enhance visitor experience.

The d3 Smart City pilot project will utilise Cisco's smart and connected real estate solutions to deploy new smart services and applications in the context of the overall development of the smart city. The smart infrastructure will be implemented for 11 buildings currently under construction and due for delivery in early 2015.
