TECOM Group has recently bolstered its security and accessibility at key developments in Dubai, notably Dubai Media City, through the deployment of Gunnebo's advanced Entrance Control systems.
Since its inception in 1999, TECOM has played a pivotal role in establishing Dubai as a bustling centre for business and innovation. It now oversees ten major business districts, such as Dubai Internet City, Dubai Knowledge Park, and Dubai Design District (d3), accommodating almost 12,000 companies with a workforce of over 124,000.
Enhancing security with entrance control
The bustling developments like Dubai Media City, which hosts thousands of visitors each day, necessitate an entrance control solution that maintains stringent security without hindering the seamless flow of people and maintaining the open atmosphere typical of TECOM's developments.
After a thorough selection process, Gunnebo Entrance Control was chosen to provide a state-of-the-art system that integrates with broader access control mechanisms while matching the sleek aesthetic of modern business environments. Over 40 SpeedStile FLs gates have been installed, chosen for their efficiency, adaptability, and ability to smoothly manage high visitor volume without detracting from visitor experience.
Advanced access control technology

SpeedStile FLs gates present a slim, modern design, ideally suited for contemporary commercial areas. These gates not only boast a stylish look but also include sophisticated single-person detection systems that monitor tailgating, piggybacking, and unauthorised access attempts. On-site teams benefit from audible alerts, while integration with third-party systems ensures compatibility with existing access control technologies, including features like card stacking for group movements.
This fusion of security technology and design provides TECOM with enhanced security and operational efficiency. By deploying SpeedStile FLs, the Group has strengthened its security measures while maintaining a collaborative and inviting environment that characterises its business hubs.
As Fadi Yakoub remarked: “TECOM communities attract some of the world’s biggest names alongside dynamic start-ups, making them vital contributors to the region’s knowledge and creative economy. We are proud of our long-term partnership to deliver seamless entrance control solutions across their developments. The SpeedStile FLs provides flexible, reliable management of people flow, while also creating a welcoming and professional first impression for business communities.”
