Set a challenging target by the Group CEO, BQT UAE is pleased to have achieved its designated targets each month since its formal opening in March 2008. From March 2008 to date, BQT UAE has secured more than $1 M AUD of business. Each month has seen a substantial increase in the secured business, and with projects like the Dubai Sports City now starting to come online, the next few months should see continued strong growth

BQT's Group CEO, Anastasios Angeloglou said "Our strategic choice to focus on the Middle East region and transform BQT from a product technology provider to a turn-key solutions provider has quickly started to show positive results".

Following a short period of market development, BQT UAE has received contractual letters of intent for 2 major projects in Qatar.

The first is for a prestigious tower and the second a major hotel, both of which are in Doha City. Each project involves the installation and commissioning of SmaX access control, CCTV and Intercom. The hotel will include over 170 BQT readers connected to SmaX and will constitute the largest SmaX system so far installed in the Middle East region.

In the Middle East, time and attendance (T&A) software is used extensively to record and audit the work attendance and payroll records for employees.

BQT has recently integrated their SmaX access control system with the major T&A player in the Region, DLI-IT Group (DLI) and DLI will now use SmaX as the preferred system for their customers, while reciprocally, BQT UAE will provide DLI as the preferred T&A solution for their customers.

The DLI General Manager, Mohannan Arath said he was delighted that BQT will now provide a cost effective, but powerful platform for DLI to offer in partnership with their T&A system throughout the region.

Mobotix AG is a system provider of IP digital high-resolution, network based video security system technology, with some 300 distributors worldwide. The Mobotix IP based camera solution is an excellent complement to BQT's TCP/IP based SmaX technology. Due to its popularity, reliability and structured nature, IP technology is set for a business explosion in the next 24 months.

Of the integration exercise, Graham Wheeler, Mobotix's sales director for Australia, Asia, India and Pakistan, stated "Major projects these days invariably require a total security solution. Combining SmaX with Mobotix IP technology as an integrated solution will add greatly to our ability to provide such total solutions to our customers, opening up opportunities for both Mobotix, its distributors and BQT."

The BQT Group CEO, Anastasios Angeloglou remarked that "This initiative is in line with BQT's move to become a total solutions provider. Through Mobotix's international network of distributors, we will immediately have access to further opportunities to sell SmaX to those customers that require a combined access control and CCTV product. We look forward to completing the integration project during the next couple of months, and working with Mobotix to promote sales of the complete solution."

BQT wins a Dubai factory project using Mobotix, integrated with SmaX

BQT UAE has just won phase one of a major project using Mobotix integrated with BQT SmaX. After extensive evaluation by a UAE Government organisation, BQT was selected for its ability to provide the best integrated solution for the supply and commissioning of some 80 cameras for a new factory in Dubai.

Phase two involves full integration between the Mobotix CCTV product, with SmaX and the DLI integrated time and attendance system (referred to in more detail above).
Of the win, General Manager BQT UAE, Richard Lewis commented, "Customers demand one-stop-shops and our ability to integrate SmaX, Mobotix and DLI provided added value that others were unable to offer, winning BQT the project."

BQT's Group CEO, Anastasios Angeloglou said "We look forward to participating in more of these sorts of projects moving forward as they provide BQT with the ability to deliver a far greater portion of the project, and increase our underlying revenue prospects."
