Egyptian technology company Raya Information Technology will participate in the 30th Cairo International Technology Exhibition and Conference (Cairo ICT 2026) in collaboration with global networking company Cisco. The event will take place from November 7-10 at the Egypt International Exhibitions Center. Raya and Cisco will showcase integrated solutions that address rapid transformations in the information technology sector. These solutions aim to help institutions and service providers develop their technological infrastructure, enhance operational efficiency, and utilize artificial intelligence applications.
The partnership between Raya and Cisco reflects their ongoing collaboration, which has resulted in numerous successful projects across various sectors and institutions. Cisco is a global leader in networking, communication, and cybersecurity technologies, while Raya has extensive experience in understanding market needs, providing solutions, and integrating them into work environments. During the exhibition, the companies will demonstrate applications that illustrate how to employ these technologies to address daily business challenges, rather than just updating technological infrastructure.
The showcased solutions include intelligent workplaces that support flexible work methods and collaboration among work teams through voice and video communications, meeting platforms, instant messaging, and management of meeting rooms and peripherals. Additionally, solutions will cover customer experience, combining multi-channel contact centers, interactive voice response, live chat, chatbots, voice bots, AI-powered agents, call analytics, and service quality management. These solutions offer various deployment options, including cloud computing, on-premises hosting, and hybrid models, with integration into institutional systems, data, and workflows.
The solutions also extend to digital resilience, combining cybersecurity, monitoring, and operational analytics to help institutions gain a broader view of their digital environment performance, detect threats and disruptions, and respond more quickly. The showcased solutions include cybersecurity technologies, threat detection and response, and Splunk Security solutions for analyzing security events and linking data from multiple sources. Furthermore, Splunk Observability provides an integrated view of application, infrastructure, network, and digital experience performance, enabling IT teams to identify and address issues before they impact services or users.
Raya and Cisco will also highlight AI data center solutions, which provide the necessary foundation for running advanced workloads and AI applications on an institutional scale. These solutions include GPU-based computing, high-performance networking, storage capabilities, and integrated security, monitoring, and management. Cisco will showcase its integrated solutions, including Cisco AI PODs and Cisco Secure AI Factory, in collaboration with NVIDIA, emphasizing the importance of designing scalable infrastructure with integrated security and monitoring across various layers.
The companies will also present telecom provider solutions aimed at updating networks, simplifying management, and improving efficiency, while supporting the development of new AI-based services, fifth-generation technologies, and Internet of Things (IoT) applications. These solutions focus on automation, optimizing network resource utilization, proactive monitoring, and enhancing service security and continuity. This enables service providers to keep pace with increasing communication demands and develop their business models.
As part of this collaboration, Raya Information Technology received the Cisco METAC Enterprise Partner of the Year 2026 award, recognizing its performance in the enterprise sector within the Middle East, Turkey, Africa, and Commonwealth countries.
