e& UAE, the flagship telecom arm of e&, has partnered with Honeywell to deliver pre-configured, mobile-first 5G and AI-powered solutions tailored for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) in the UAE. The agreement, signed under Honeywell’s Performance Partner Program, aims to simplify digital transformation and remove traditional IT complexities for the private sector.
The partnership combines e&’s secure 4G/5G network and machine-to-machine (M2M) connectivity with Honeywell’s industrial automation technologies and AI analytics platforms. Together, they will offer a suite of ready-to-deploy digital tools that enhance productivity, safety, and efficiency across sectors such as logistics, retail, facilities management, and field services.
Key offerings include Connected Workforce Solutions—mobile devices with 5G connectivity and device-as-a-service options for field teams; Plug-and-Play Digital Kits that digitize workflows like inventory and sales without IT infrastructure; AI-powered reporting dashboards for real-time insights; and mobile barcode and QR code integration for accuracy and speed.
Fadi Shanaah, Senior Vice President of Enterprise Sales at e& UAE, said the collaboration accelerates SMB digitalization by merging e&’s robust infrastructure with Honeywell’s industrial expertise to deliver intelligent, connected solutions that drive real-time efficiency and safety.
George Bou Mitri, President of Honeywell Industrial Automation for the Middle East, Turkey, Africa, and Central Asia, noted that the partnership aligns with the UAE’s vision for digital transformation, providing SMBs with scalable, mobile-first tools that enhance economic resilience.
As regional businesses advance toward AI-driven operations, the e&–Honeywell collaboration provides an immediate pathway to digital inclusion—offering automation tools that require no backend setup, reducing barriers to entry, and empowering SMEs to compete in an increasingly connected economy.
The collaboration underscores the UAE’s ongoing commitment to 5G innovation, industrial automation, and the development of an inclusive digital ecosystem.
