DuoKey, Axiomtek and Blue Edge Network Partner to Enhance Smart Cities with Privacy-Preserving Urban Safeguarding and Fleet Management
Dubai, United Arab Emirates — 6 May 2025 — Technology companies Axiomtek, BlueEdge Network LLC and DuoKey today announced a partnership at GISEC Global Dubai to deliver privacy-preserving technology for facial recognition and fleet telematics systems to enhance smart cities and public safety.
The collaboration enables privacy-first urban safeguarding through advanced encryption, ensuring citizen data remains protected while maintaining effective security operations. The solution includes municipal fleet management, where secure edge computing delivers operational improvements without compromising sensitive information.
The platform key’s benefits include improved operational efficiency through real-time analytics, increasing public confidence in smart city initiatives. This approach helps municipalities and public institutions leveraging big data and AI while building public trust in digital infrastructure.
“As smart cities evolve, the need to balance security with privacy has never been more critical,” said Bill Shen, General Manager of Axiomtek European Competence Center. “Our partnership addresses this challenge by embedding privacy protection directly into safeguarding and fleet management platform.”
The technology extends to municipal fleet management and connected Edge IOT systems answering the new paradigms challenges such as smart cities, future transportation and Industry 4.0 in general, where secure edge computing provides real-time telematics and operational insights without exposing sensitive information. Vehicle location data, driver behaviour analytics and maintenance metrics are all processed with privacy-preserving techniques at the edge that allow for fleet optimisation while protecting sensitive data.
“Delivering end-to-end fleet and asset management solutions powered by advanced cryptography and security protocols. Our systems ensure maximum privacy protection and operational safety while optimizing your fleet performance and guaranteeing the safety of your customers. We pave the way to the future complex connected IoT world and Industry 4.0 standards ” said the CEO of Blue Edge Network LLC Dubai.
At the core of this solution is Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE), which allows data to remain encrypted during processing, eliminating the vulnerability of traditional systems that require decryption for analysis. This enables privacy-first urban safeguarding and fleet management without data exposure.
“Smart city requires technology that citizens can trust,” noted Nagib Aouini, CEO at DuoKey. “ Our privacy-preserving solution, leveraging FHE, ensures that as smart city initiatives expand, personal data remains secure without compromising functionality.”
Visitors to GISEC Global Dubai can see a demonstration of the integrated smart city platform at the DuoKey booth (D-120, Hall 6), featuring advanced face recognition for identifying suspects in crowded areas, fleet management and operations optimisation, and movement pattern tracking capabilities. Schedule a demo at GISEC Global to see how Axiomtek, BlueEdge Network and DuoKey’s smart city platform enhances public safety through advanced detection capabilities and urban intelligence solutions.
