Moro Hub, which is a subsidiary of Digital DEWA and the digital arm of the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA), has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with RealNetworks to complement its Integrated Physical Security Platform with the leading facial recognition (FR) technology.

The MoU establishes a framework to integrate RealNetwork’s SAFR deep-learning engine with Moro Hub’s Integrated Physical Security Platform (IPSP) in order to deliver accurate, fast, unbiased face recognition (FR) and additional computer vision features.

In addition, this partnership will set new standards in the market by providing the highest levels of FR accuracy for automated surveillance, providing access control and generating analytics, while ensuring maximum flexibility and efficiency on deployment, thereby ensuring safe cities.

With this collaboration, Moro Hub aims to offer a holistic Integrated Physical Security Platform and accelerate an efficient and secured integrated business environment for its clients.

But, that’s not all. SAFR combined with the next-generation hosting capabilities of Moro Hub will also provide flexibility and reduce dependency on bandwidth and compute resources.

The CEO of Moro Hub, Mohammad Bin Sulaiman, said: “Moro Hub is committed to enhancing the safety and security of its customers. This is aligned with the vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai.

“Our partnership with RealNetworks is a key step towards accelerating our efforts to elevate the security services in the country, to promote, preserve and enhance smart living and seamless business operations.”

While law enforcement agencies and governmental institutions primarily use automated surveillance, face-based access control is used by varied verticals with different levels of security concerns.

The integration of SAFR in Moro Hub’s IPSP can maximise the utilisation of security technologies and enable the consumer to go beyond security while improving the operation, generating greater return on investment (ROI) for the business.

The vice-president for the Middle East at RealNetworks, Walter Candelu, said: “This partnership aims at setting new standards for the security implementations in the region. We at RealNetworks take pride in partnering with Moro Hub, the fastest growing digital entity in the region, with a clear objective to bringing cutting-edge technologies to the client’s fingertips.”
