TECOM Group has enhanced security and accessibility across several of its flagship developments in Dubai, including Dubai Media City, with the installation of advanced Gunnebo Entrance Control solutions.
Since its establishment in 1999, TECOM has shaped Dubai’s landscape as a hub for business and innovation.
Its ten business districts, including Dubai Internet City, Dubai Knowledge Park and Dubai Design District (d3), are home to nearly 12,000 companies employing more than 124,000 people.
Developments like Dubai Media City welcome thousands of people every day, serving as both workplaces and collaborative hubs where ideas and intellectual property are shared.
According to the company, this made it essential for TECOM to implement an entrance control solution capable of maintaining robust security while preserving the smooth flow of people and the open, professional atmosphere expected across its developments.
SpeedStile FLs
Following a competitive tender, Gunnebo Entrance Control was appointed to combine advanced entrance control, seamless integration with wider access control systems and a sleek design suited to modern commercial environments.
More than 40 SpeedStile FLs gates were installed across several buildings, chosen for their performance, adaptability and ability to support high volumes of daily movement without compromising the visitor experience.
The company highlighted that the SpeedStile FLs features a slim, contemporary appearance designed to complement modern commercial spaces.
Beyond aesthetics, it incorporates advanced single-person detection systems, monitoring tailgating, piggybacking and unauthorised attempts to access secure areas.
Audible alerts assist on-site teams, while third-party integration ensures compatibility with existing access control technology, including group movement through card stacking capabilities.
For TECOM, this blend of security technology and design has delivered both reassurance and efficiency.
By implementing SpeedStile FLs across its developments, Gunnebo said that it has strengthened security while preserving the collaborative and welcoming environment that defines its business communities.
“Vital contributors”
Fadi Yakoub concluded: “TECOM communities attract some of the world’s biggest names alongside dynamic start-ups, making them vital contributors to the region’s knowledge and creative economy.
“We are proud of our long-term partnership to deliver seamless entrance control solutions across their developments.
“The SpeedStile FLs provides flexible, reliable management of people flow, while also creating a welcoming and professional first impression for business communities,” he concluded.
