du and Hassantuk Expand Partnership at GITEX Global 2025

Dubai, United Arab Emirates — At GITEX Global 2025, du, from Emirates Integrated Telecommunications Company (EITC), announced a landmark expansion of its partnership with Hassantuk, the UAE’s nationwide smart fire and life safety monitoring system powered by Core42 (a G42 company).

The enhanced collaboration ushers in a new era of AI-driven public safety infrastructure, integrating intelligent monitoring, real-time analytics, and predictive response capabilities across thousands of buildings, facilities, and communities throughout the UAE.

“With this expansion, du is transforming public safety from reactive to predictive — from response to prevention,” said a senior du spokesperson.
“By combining cutting-edge connectivity with sovereign AI and smart infrastructure, we are reinforcing the UAE’s position as one of the safest and most advanced nations in the world.”

🧠 Building the Next Generation of Public Safety Infrastructure

The upgraded du–Hassantuk partnership redefines how cities protect citizens, assets, and critical infrastructure. The new system integrates AI, IoT, and cloud technologies into a cohesive national safety fabric — connecting emergency services, civil defense authorities, and property management systems in real time.

Key innovations unveiled at GITEX Global 2025 include:

  • AI-Powered Hazard Detection — Smart sensors capable of identifying fire, smoke, and gas leaks with near-zero latency.
  • Predictive Analytics & Edge Intelligence — Data from thousands of IoT nodes analyzed in real time at the network edge to forecast risk and trigger early interventions.
  • Dynamic Evacuation Systems — Automated route optimization and safety alerts designed to guide occupants safely during emergencies.
  • Unified Command Dashboards — Real-time situational awareness interfaces connecting fire brigades, civil defense centers, and municipal authorities.
  • Mobile Safety Cloud — A public alert system sending verified safety notifications and evacuation updates to residents and building managers.
  • AI Data Lakes for Urban Safety — Centralized analytics environments enabling predictive modeling, resource allocation, and post-incident learning.

Together, these innovations create a national digital safety network — designed, deployed, and governed within the UAE’s sovereign infrastructure.

🏙️ Advancing the UAE’s Smart City and Digital Sovereignty Vision

This partnership directly supports the UAE’s National AI Strategy 2031, the Smart Dubai Initiative, and the Ministry of Interior’s Fire Safety Transformation Roadmap, aligning public safety modernization with national digital and sustainability goals.

By integrating AI and IoT at scale, the project ensures:

  • Data sovereignty through locally hosted platforms powered by Core42 infrastructure.
  • Operational resilience through redundancy and secure connectivity managed by du’s nationwide network.
  • Interoperability across government systems, enabling unified command and intelligent governance.

“This collaboration embodies our shared belief that technology must serve society’s highest priority — safety,” said Core42 leadership.
“With du’s robust network and our AI platforms, we’re delivering intelligent protection for every community, home, and enterprise.”

🔥 From Response to Prevention: Smarter Safety for Every Emirate

The upgraded system will expand coverage to thousands of additional structures across the UAE, extending Hassantuk’s reach into:

  • Residential complexes and smart communities
  • Hospitals, schools, and critical public infrastructure
  • Industrial facilities and logistics hubs
  • Government and corporate buildings

Early pilot deployments have demonstrated a 25% reduction in emergency response times and up to 40% faster incident detection, establishing a model for next-generation emergency services.

The partnership also envisions integrating Hassantuk’s AI platform with du’s 5G network to enable instantaneous machine-to-machine communication between safety devices and emergency response units.

🌍 Global Significance: The UAE as a Model for Safe Digital Cities

Through its innovation in public safety and infrastructure intelligence, the UAE is setting a new international benchmark for AI-enabled urban governance.

This partnership positions the country as:

  • A regional leader in fire and emergency digitalization.
  • A global model for integrating telecoms, AI, and IoT into national safety systems.
  • A strategic hub for exporting safety-as-a-service technology across the GCC and beyond.

“Public safety is the cornerstone of national progress,” said the du spokesperson.
“By combining innovation with responsibility, we’re ensuring every citizen benefits from technology that protects, empowers, and sustains.”

📅 Deployment Roadmap and Future Expansion

The expanded Hassantuk platform will roll out in phased stages between 2026 and 2028, with key milestones including:

  • 2026: AI and sensor network integration across major UAE cities.
  • 2027: Nationwide unified command dashboard deployment.
  • 2028: Cross-sector AI integration with smart traffic, health, and environment systems.

The long-term roadmap envisions using Hassantuk’s framework as the foundation for comprehensive public safety intelligence — encompassing disaster management, climate adaptation, and infrastructure resilience.

🏆 Transforming Connectivity Into Safety

The du–Hassantuk partnership exemplifies how the UAE’s telecom and technology sectors are redefining connectivity as a national enabler of wellbeing, trust, and security.

Through innovation and collaboration, du and Core42 are turning the UAE’s smart city vision into a living, learning infrastructure — one that anticipates risk, accelerates response, and protects lives through intelligence.
