KBC Networks has been involved with a number of projects within the Middle East and will be supplying video and data, fibre optic transmission equipment for this security system. The equipment was subject to several rounds of rigorous approvals and because of its design, had the advantage of saving a considerable amount of rack space within the equipment rooms.

Owen Price head of KBC Networks EMEA Sales commented, "This is one of the most ambitious construction projects in the world and we're very proud to have been chosen to supply the development."

A flagship project of Emaar Properties, the Burj Dubai Tower is the centrepiece of the downtown Burj Dubai development. Despite much speculation, the official height of the tower has yet to be announced, but it is reported that the tip of the spire will be visible from 60 miles away. Once completed, the 500 acre development will combine over 30 000 homes; one of the World's largest shopping malls; luxury hotels and restaurants and a wealth of leisure facilities.
