New Administrative Capital

Egypt's New Administrative Capital — still home to well under 100,000 residents in 2026 against a long-term target of roughly 6.5 million — runs a Honeywell-built system (contracted Feb. 2019) linking 6,000+ CCTV cameras to a central Integrated Command and Control Centre, with smart columns roughly every 250 metres carrying sensors, WiFi, cameras and lighting.
