e& and Tiami Networks Partner to Accelerate Pre-6G Adoption with MENA’s First Live ISAC Demonstration at GITEX Global 25

Demonstrating how 5G networks can see their environment—without cameras, spectrum expansion, or costly infrastructure.

DUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES, October 14, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- e& UAE, the flagship telecom arm of global technology group e&, has partnered with Tiami Networks, a pioneer in Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC) technologies, to showcase the first live ISAC demonstration in the MENA region at GITEX Global 2025 (October 13–17, Dubai World Trade Centre). The joint demonstration aims to highlight how ISAC will play a foundational role in enabling pre-6G capabilities—delivering enhanced situational awareness, infrastructure efficiency, and mission-critical sensing use cases.

As part of the showcase at e&’s Pavilion in Za’abeel Hall 1 (Z1-A10 & Z1-A20), Tiami Networks will deploy its PolyEdge multifunctional ISAC platform over e& UAE’s 5G-Advanced infrastructure, transforming mobile network nodes into intelligent, privacy-respecting sensors. The first-of-its-kind ISAC demonstration in MENA region will feature live use cases in crowd analytics, occupancy detection, and drone monitoring—achieved without cameras, additional spectrum, or costly infrastructure.

Marwan Bin Shaker, Acting Chief Technology & Information Officer, e& UAE, said, “At e& UAE we’re evolving our 5G-Advanced network into an intelligent sensing fabric. Together with Tiami, we’re demonstrating how ISAC delivers real-time awareness, without cameras or extra spectrum, so airports, venues and energy sites can operate smarter and safer. It’s a pragmatic step toward pre-6G at scale.”

“With e& UAE’s network leadership and Tiami’s field-proven ISAC platform, we are demonstrating how wireless networks can sense as intelligently as they connect,” said Amitav Mukherjee, CEO & Founder of Tiami Networks. “This partnership sets the tone for the next phase of telecom evolution, where every cell site becomes a situational awareness node.”

The collaboration targets early ISAC adoption across sectors including smart cities, defense, aviation, and oil & gas, where traditional camera-based sensing faces limitations in scale, cost, and privacy. By enabling radar-like environmental awareness via 5G infrastructure, the ISAC solution unlocks new monetization models such as Sensing-as-a-Service for enterprises and governments.

The GITEX 2025 demonstration marks the start of a broader strategic collaboration between e& UAE and Tiami Networks, with joint efforts planned to co-develop vertical-specific ISAC solutions and explore commercial deployments post-event.
