Dubai Transportation And Dubai Infrastructure
Dubai has an advanced infrastructure on par with the world’s best. Plenty of road networks, telecommunications, service and utility structures, transport systems and much more contribute to the success of Dubai as both a commercial and tourism hub. Dubai spares no expense when it concerns building its infrastructure further and this is quite obvious in its elaborate ongoing projects.
The need for advanced infrastructure in Dubai is no secret, because it’s home to some of the most globally renowned businesses and relies heavily on the economic sectors dominated by them. Sophisticated facilities and services are among the many attractive aspects of Dubai and the modern infrastructure helps maintain those qualities.
Dubai has two telecommunication service providers, the long-standing UAE government owned Etisalat and the newcomer Du, partially owned by the Dubai government. Between the two providers, subscribers are offered services such as broadband internet, 3G, wi-fi and roaming mobile packages, as well as the brand new technology of accessing home security camera via the mobile phone or web.
Etisalat is still the main service provider, making its mark in voice/data communication and cable television. It was registered as one of the world’s most profitable companies in 2006. Online services for everything ranging from bill payments to package renewals, the telecom operators in Dubai have provided the easiest platform for everyone to get things done without ever deferring from their busy schedules.
The road network in Dubai is an area of intriguing complexity, constantly under construction for expansions. The city areas have seen a lot of road development over the years, with roads built up and torn down within months to make way for further urban development projects.
Bridges over the flowing inland waters, such as the Floating Bridge, which is a remarkable feat of engineering, connect all the areas that were previously inaccessible via land transport. Sophisticated traffic monitoring and controlling systems, toll gate systems and the upcoming Dubai Metro system are all evidence for this continuous infrastructural development.
