Umniah Company, a leading telecom services provider in Jordan, has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Qatar Mobility Innovations Centre (QMIC) to strengthen its commitment towards enhancing its business incubator, The Tank, and to provide high-quality Internet of Things (IoT)-based solutions and platforms.
The MoU was signed by Umniah CEO Ziad Shattara and QMIC CEO Dr Adnan Abu-Dayya in the presence of a number of officials from both sides.
The MoU will allow The Tank incubator programme to take advantage of Labeeb-IoT & other cloud computing platforms across multiple domains, as well as conduct extensive training sessions for startups and business leaders benefiting from the incubator programme.
Labeeb-IoT, one of the first comprehensive IoT platforms developed in the region, was launched by QMIC in 2016, gaining market acceptance regionally and globally.
The Labeeb-IoT platform will make it easier and faster for entrepreneurs and enterprises to develop and deploy IoT solutions and services, a press statement said.
The platform collects various data from sensors and enables users to conduct actions and develop services based on sensor data.
Startups and entrepreneurs can benefit from the services offered by the platform in healthcare and transportation, in addition to smart homes and cities, smart energy management, agriculture and industry.
Dr Abu-Dayya said, “As a leading digital innovations centre in the region, QMIC is always seeking to leverage its expertise in building digital platforms and solutions to enable smart living and facilitate the creation of knowledge-based economies.
“We are proud of this strategic partnership with an established telecom operator like Umniah and look forward to seeing tangible progress through delivering comprehensive Internet of Things based solutions across various sectors.”
