Ahead of Intersec Global 2027, we speak exclusively to Network Optix Regional Director – MEA, Tolga Altun about what we can expect from the company’s stand, including the latest innovations across its video technology platforms. He also gives some insight into how the Middle East market is performing for the company, and touches on the company’s expansion plans for the region.
What can visitors to your Intersec stand expect to see?
TA: “Visitors to our stand will experience the latest innovations across our video technology platforms, Nx Witness and Nx EVOS. Together with our global technology partners, we’ll showcase a unified ecosystem for video, security, IoT, and AI, demonstrating how these elements work seamlessly to deliver an intelligent, connected, and secure environment.”
How are you finding the current market here in the Middle East?
TA: “The Middle East continues to be at the forefront of global security and technology trends. With its fast-paced decision-making and strong government initiatives, the region rapidly adopts next-generation solutions. It remains an incredible market for leading technology companies like Network Optix to introduce innovation and transformative solutions in video intelligence and cloud-based surveillance.”
What do you feel you are offering that sets you apart from your competitors?
TA: “Network Optix has been at the cutting edge of video technology for over a decade, continuously innovating to solve real-world challenges for our users and partners. What sets us apart is our open, flexible approach. Our platform makes it easy to integrate AI, IoT, and analytics technologies, giving partners the freedom to build solutions around their customers’ needs. We’re continuing to expand these capabilities and look forward to sharing more developments this year.”
What do you think will be the main drivers for business next year?
TA: “Continued growth and digital transformation across the region will drive demand for AI-enabled, cloud-connected, and interoperable solutions. For us, the focus will be on helping partners take advantage of these opportunities with technology that’s easy to deploy, integrate, and scale across all sectors.”
What will be the primary challenges, and what is your strategy to overcome potential hurdles?
TA: “One of the ongoing challenges in the physical security industry is the gradual transition to cloud adoption. While Middle Eastern regulations around cloud usage are still evolving, we anticipate significant positive shifts in the coming years. Our strategy is to remain flexible, compliant, and ready, offering hybrid and on-premise solutions that bridge the gap until full cloud adoption becomes standard.”
Are there any special considerations or additional support that you offer your clients across the Middle East?
TA: “Yes. We are planning to significantly expand our regional team and establish a more autonomous Middle East operation dedicated to serving our partners and customers in the region. This will strengthen our local presence, enhance response times, and provide direct technical and business support tailored to regional needs. More details will be announced later this year.”
Are there any new features of the show in 2026 that you’re particularly excited about?
TA: “We are particularly excited about the expanded AI, smart city, and IoT zones at Intersec 2027. These areas align perfectly with our vision of integrated, intelligent, and data-driven video ecosystems, and we look forward to demonstrating how Network Optix technology continues to power the next generation of video innovation.”
