The world's first fully online city will soon be a reality. Touted as the city of the future, Dubai Marina ushers in a whole new sophisticated era of lifestyle that will integrate every aspect of living and working in Dubai.

Online City
The online city in essence means the residents will be able to use the IT network to control their living environment and appliances at the click of a mouse. Every part of the city is connected to a high bandwidth network that will provide access to local and global services. Be it e-healthcare, e-business, e-education, e-government or e-leisure, residents of the city will have total 24/7 access. Dubai Marine City Project (undertaken by Emaar) features classy apartment towers, landscaped parks, shopping centers, schools, upmarket hotels, medical, recreation and entertainment facilities. In short, the city will spell the ultimate in luxurious living.

Emaar residents to get Internet City services

6-Jun-2005

Dubai Internet City (DIC) will now offer an array of internet services including protocol-based voice, internet and video services to residents of Emaar Properties units in Dubai. Operating through its IP services provision arm, DIC has supervised the successful operations of its IP (internet protocol) network across DIC, Dubai Media City and Dubai Knowledge Village.

The DIC has recently acquired the telecommunications arm of Sahm Technologies, the ICT unit of Emaar Properties, the Dubai-based property developer. The acquisition of tele-communications arm of the Sahm Technologies is a natural and suitable attainment for DIC.

"Given the experience that DIC's service provision arm has accumulated since its inception in 2000, residents in Emaar properties can look forward to better services, improved quality of service and forward-thinking packages and services," the press release eleborated.

Since its opening in 2000, the telecommunications arm of DIC has successfully operated IP-based services for its business partners, and will now offer a wide range ofservices using one of the most advanced and state of the art 'Ethernet' access networks in the world.

This plan highlights DIC's progressive strategy of providing IP services in Dubai. Emaar has built some of the most advanced high-speed internet-access technologies into its premises, facilitating the residents to enjoy voice, television as well as high-speed internet access in a manner that is unequalled by other. DIC Telecom will take over the premises used by Sahm and will keep the same contact details as before, the customers will receive their bills for the services from Dubai Internet City starting from the 1st of July 2005.
