DESIGNER / SYSTEMS INTEGRATOR / DELIVERY PARTNER

Complete Technology Infrastructure From Design to Commissioning

A direct Future Bridges Technologies project, delivered across the complete lifecycle.

Future Bridges was engaged to design and deliver the technology infrastructure supporting a major manufacturing facility in Sudair Industrial City. The scope connected corporate offices, VIP and guest areas, production spaces, warehouses and logistics areas, entrance gates, security areas and supporting operational facilities.

Enterprise networking, structured cabling, fiber optics, wireless, network security, CCTV, access control, IP telephony, public address, AV, servers and centralized management formed one engineered environment.

Future Bridges retained responsibility from technical survey and design through equipment selection, procurement, supply, installation, configuration, integration, testing, commissioning, client training and final documentation.
