TECHNOLOGY– Dubai is setting a new benchmark in urban safety with the deployment of advanced drones to monitor and secure its high-rise districts. The Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC) has partnered with Dubai Police to implement the innovative Drone Box system, designed to enhance public safety in Jumeirah Lakes Towers (JLT) and Uptown Dubai.
Revolutionizing Safety with Smart Technology
The Drone Box system is a cutting-edge solution that leverages advanced drone technology to improve situational awareness and emergency response capabilities. Specifically tailored for densely populated, high-rise environments, the drones provide real-time surveillance, helping authorities respond to incidents more efficiently.
This initiative represents a regional first and underscores Dubai’s commitment to integrating smart technologies into its urban infrastructure.
