Zebra Technologies Brings High-Speed Wi-Fi to Remote Village for UAE's National Catering CompanyDUBAI, United Arab Emirates, May 14, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The UAE's National Catering Company (NCC) has implemented Zebra Technologies Corporation's (NASDAQ: ZBRA) T5 Power Broadband solution to connect 234 residential caravans in the remote desert area of Al-Ruwais near Abu Dhabi. Using NCC's current telephone wiring for fast, easy and cost-effective upgrades, the new system offers high-speed Wi-Fi service to improve residents' experience with uninterrupted connectivity for all their mobile devices. NCC's village provides residents with Wi-Fi connectivity as an essential service. Its previous wireless network was unreliable, with limited or no connectivity to some of the caravans, requiring residents to find random points to access the network. The previous network was also unable to accommodate the bandwidth requirements of the increasing number of mobile devices used by residents, such as tablets, laptops, and smartphones. NCC's IT division, Business DNA, decided to address these challenges by investing in a new wireless system that would provide residents with uninterrupted high-speed connectivity, as well as the flexibility required to meet future customer demand. NCC estimates significant cost savings compared to the alternative high-speed (CAT 6 cabling) network, and it can rely on the scalability of the solution to meet future customer demand with minimal cost and easy maintenance. The upgrade in each residential caravan was completed in minutes – eliminating the need for complex and costly installations and without the need to rip and replace any existing wiring. NCC's Business DNA, partnering with Data Capture Systems (DCS), was able to complete the project in two weeks – half the time of deploying alternative cabling infrastructures. KEY FACTS
