- du teams with Hyperfusion on a generative AI video analytics service for enterprises in the UAE.
- Runs over du’s 5G+ network for low-latency, real-time analysis.
- Core features: object recognition, auto-summarisation, natural-language search, custom alerts.
- Targets security, retail, manufacturing and smart city projects.
- Available for enterprise customers; focus on operational intelligence and faster decisions.
du has announced a collaboration with Hyperfusion to launch an AI-powered video analytics service in the UAE. It blends generative AI with du’s 5G+ network to process video in near real time. The aim is simple: help enterprises understand what’s happening on their cameras and act faster, from shop floors to city streets.
What’s been announced
The two companies are launching a generative AI video analytics solution for enterprise customers in the UAE.
- Collaboration announced on 30 October 2025 in Dubai
- Combines du’s 5G+ network with Hyperfusion’s compute and AI stack
- Designed for real-time analysis and decision-making
The release states the service pairs du’s network with Hyperfusion’s high-performance computing and generative models to deliver “video intelligence” for businesses. The pitch: cameras that don’t just record, but help you understand scenes, detect patterns and cut response times.
Why 5G+ matters here
Low latency is the point. Moving video to the edge and back fast enough makes the AI more useful.
- 5G+ enables smoother, near real-time processing
- Suits environments with many cameras and changing scenes
- Helps scale across sites without re-wiring everything
du highlights 5G+ as the transport layer for this service. With higher bandwidth and lower latency, analytics can run with less lag, which is vital for anything time-sensitive.

Features at a glance
The feature list points to practical, operator-friendly tools rather than research toys.
- Object recognition for items and actions
- Automatic summarisation of long footage
- Natural-language queries to ask the system questions
- Custom alerts based on tailored search rules
In plain English: you can identify what’s in frame, get a short recap instead of scrubbing an hour of footage, ask questions like “show pallets left unattended after 9 pm,” and set notifications that matter to your team. It’s designed to cut time-to-insight for ops and security teams, not just data scientists.
Who it’s for
The service targets sectors that already collect loads of video and need fast, reliable analysis.
- Security for incident detection and triage
- Retail for stock movement, queues and store ops
- Manufacturing for line monitoring and safety
- Smart city use across transport, public spaces and utilities
The announcement lists these as primary enterprise applications, all of which benefit from consistent frame-level insights and alerting. If you’re mapping this to the UAE network context, du’s recent 5G-Advanced upgrades also add capacity for dense deployments.
Availability and the vendor pitch
It’s an enterprise offer, positioned for operational intelligence and automation.
- Available to enterprise customers via du
- Built with Hyperfusion’s high-performance compute
- Emphasis on secure, sector-specific solutions
The release notes Hyperfusion’s role as a GCC-focused provider of GPU infrastructure and AI services, and frames the service as a way to improve decision-making with automated insights. Pricing, deployment models and integration specifics aren’t disclosed in the announcement.

FAQs
What exactly is “generative AI video analytics”?
It uses generative models to understand scenes, summarise footage and answer natural-language queries, not just detect motion. The release lists object recognition, summarisation, conversational search and custom alerts.
Which industries are supported at launch?
Security, retail, manufacturing and smart city use cases are highlighted.
How is this different from traditional video analytics?
It aims to “understand” content and surface patterns or answers in real time, supported by 5G+ for lower latency. Traditional tools often rely on fixed rules and offline processing.
Is it available now in the UAE?
It’s positioned for enterprise customers through du. The announcement confirms enterprise availability but doesn’t share timelines or pricing details.
What about data security and the deployment model?
The release positions Hyperfusion as a provider of secure, outcome-driven AI with at-scale GPU infrastructure. Specifics on data residency or on-prem vs cloud aren’t provided in the document.
