Modern Sound, Timeless Spirit
With the recent audio upgrade at one of the most iconic mosques in the country, a renewed sense of reverence now resonates across the area. The project features a newly installed Bose Professional audio solution, distributed & supplied by NMK Electronics, and further installed by Panacor Technologies LLC. The audio upgrade aims to transform the soundscape, ensuring that every word and recitation reaches congregants with utmost clarity, no matter where they are offering their prayers from.
Faith Meets Function: A Seamless Integration of Design and Devotion

The success of the project lies in the ability to balance high-performance technology with serene aesthetic. Subtle yet powerful, the Bose Panaray MSA12X loudspeakers, alongside PowerMatch amplifiers, ControlSpace processors, and Shure wireless systems, were selected to deliver even coverage, crisp intelligibility, and zero visual disruption to the sacred space.
The system was supplied, installed and commissioned by Panacor Technologies LLC, who ensured a meticulous approach to design, calibration, and testing in close coordination with NMK Electronics, Bose Professional’s exclusive distributor in the region. “The solution is working wonderfully, providing clear and accurate sound that covers the entire area seamlessly,” said Mr. Anil Tiwari & Mohammed Vazeer Uddin, Panacor Technologies. “It has greatly enhanced the audio experience, ensuring that every corner is filled with intelligible sound.”
Enhanced Features
Bose was selected for its ability to deliver a solution that is both technologically advanced and spiritually attuned. Known for their exceptional sound quality and reliable performance, Bose systems are tailored to large, acoustically complex environments like mosques, where sermons and recitations must be heard in unison without distortion or dropouts. “Places of worship deserve technology that respects the space, its purpose, and the people it serves,” said Nittin Dargan from Bose Professional. “Our goal with this project was to support a more profound spiritual experience through sound, one that is clear, consistent, and invisible in presence, yet powerful in impact.”
Key features of the solution include:
- Superior Sound Clarity: Ensures every prayer and sermon is delivered with precision.
- Uniform Audio Coverage: Designed to reach every part of the mosque evenly, regardless of seating.
- Discreet Aesthetic: Blends with the architectural beauty of the mosque.
- Ease of Use and Durability: A sustainable solution for long-term daily use.
A Partnership of Purpose
NMK Electronics, the region’s trusted AV distributor, played a critical role in ensuring the timely delivery and technical support of all Bose equipment. Their collaboration with Panacor Technologies underscores a shared commitment to delivering excellence with cultural sensitivity and technical precision. “It was our privilege to support this initiative by providing multiple solutions, from our top-tier portfolio, that truly respect the space it serves,” said Jikku Joseph from NMK Electronics.

New Rubrik Agent Cloud Accelerates Trusted Enterprise AI Agent Deployments
AI agents represent the biggest opportunity and the biggest threat to organizations everywhere. Rubrik, Inc., the Security and AI Operations Company, today announced the launch of the Rubrik Agent Cloud to accelerate enterprise AI agent adoption while managing risk of AI deployments.
AI transformation is now mandatory for most organizations. However, IT leaders are constrained because Agentic AI has significant risks including hallucination as well as compromise by threat actors. Rubrik Agent Cloud is designed to monitor and audit agentic actions, enforce real-time guardrails for agentic changes, fine-tune agents for accuracy and, finally, undo agent mistakes. Built on the Rubrik Platform that uniquely combines data, identity and application contexts, Rubrik Agent Cloud gives customers security, accuracy, and efficiency as they transform their organizations into AI enterprises.
“IT and security leaders often don’t know what their AI agents are doing or how to undo their mistakes. Rubrik wants to help them answer: ‘What agents do I have?’ ‘What are they capable of doing?’ ‘How are they performing?’ ‘What did they do?’ and ‘Can I undo that when they screw up?’ said Bipul Sinha, CEO, Chairman, and Co-Founder of Rubrik. “AI agents have the potential to cause 10x the damage in 1/10 of the time. With Rubrik Agent Cloud, we uniquely address this challenge by leveraging our leadership in data, identity, and resilience to help our customers deploy AI agents with peace of mind.”
Accelerate Enterprise AI Deployment and Resilience
Rubrik Agent Cloud will offer comprehensive agent management capabilities that encompass the entire AI agent lifecycle – from observability and control to performance management and simulation.
- Agent Monitor:
- Auto-discovers both infrastructure-as-a-service (Azure/AWS) agents as well as platform-as-a-service (M365/AgentForce) agents.
○ Automatically discovers and maps active agents across popular agent builders such as OpenAI, Microsoft Copilot Studio, Amazon Bedrock and other popular agent building tools.
○ Continuously monitors agent activity and data access, and maintains immutable audit trails capturing context from data, identity, and applications.
- Agent Govern:
- Tracks agent usage, evaluates performance against prompts, and gives teams the tools to control destructive/undesired actions.
○ Defines and enforces agent behavior, access, and action policies in real-time.
○ A centralized tool to provide integration with enterprise identity systems—helping ensure secure, compliant, and controlled innovation.
- Agent Remediate:
- Announced in August 2025, Agent Rewind integrates with Rubrik Security Cloud to provide the industry’s only solution for precise time and blast radius rollback of undesirable or destructive actions.
○ Goes beyond observability to allow organizations to instantly undo unwanted or destructive actions, without any downtime or data loss.
○ Selective rollback of agent-driven changes ensures continuous protection for critical data and systems, and immutable recovery.

UAE’s AI market set to soar to Dh170 billion by 2030, driving MENA’s Dh610 billion Artificial Intelligence boom
The UAE’s Artificial Intelligence (AI) market is forecast to hit Dh170 billion (USD 46.33 billion) by 2030, according to new data from Grand View Research (GVR) in a study that underscores the country’s accelerating dominance in the region’s USD 166 billion (Dh610 billion) AI boom.
Close on the heels of the UAE unveiling its first Arabic-language AI model earlier this year, the new research by the California headquartered- firm reveals that the MENA AI market, valued at USD 11.92 billion (Dh43.7 billion) in 2023, is set to expand almost fifteen-fold to USD 166.33 billion (Dh610 billion) by 2030, growing at an annual rate of 44.8 percent.
“The Middle East, and especially the UAE, is no longer just an adopter of global AI technologies – it’s, in fact, shaping its own playbook,” said Swayam Dash, Managing Director at Grand View Research. “With sovereign funds backing innovation, and policies like the UAE’s new Strategic Plan 2031 leading the way with focus on utilising artificial intellegence in achieving greater financial efficiency for the federal government, the region is becoming a laboratory for how AI can drive both governance and growth.”
GVR’s report further highlights that nearly three in four UAE companies have maintained or increased their AI investments in the past year. Machine learning and deep learning remain the backbone of this transformation, particularly in healthcare, logistics, and financial services.
According to the report, the AI in Healthcare market in the Middle East and Africa, valued at USD 193.1 million (Dh 709 million) in 2023, is projected to reach USD 1.47 billion (Dh 5.39 billion) by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 33.6 per cent, while the region’s legal AI sector – currently at USD 43.3 million (Dh 159 million) – is expected to almost triple to USD 121.5 million (Dh 446 million) at a CAGR of 18 per cent over the same period.
“The release of region-specific AI metrics for the first time quantifies what many have sensed – that the UAE and its neighbours are at the tipping point of a generational transformation,” Dash added. “And the next wave of opportunity will come from specialisation. Sectors like healthcare and legal technology are still emerging here and hence the potential is immense. With the AI in regional healthcare market alone projected to touch USD 8.39 billion (AED 30.8 billion) by 2033, we’re looking at a decade of exponential growth. Likewise, the legal AI space, though currently small, represents a first-mover opportunity in digitising governance, compliance, and regulatory frameworks – areas where the Middle East can define its own benchmarks rather than follow global ones.”
The study also notes how the MENA region is further emerging stronger as one of the world’s most dynamic AI frontiers driven particularly by government-led digital transformation agendas, rapid urbanisation, and the rollout of AI-enabling technologies such as 5G, cloud, and IoT,
“Machine learning and deep learning continue to dominate adoption across smart-city initiatives, healthcare, and urban management – with the UAE leading the charge in real-world integration,” said Dash.
The full Grand View Research MENA AI Market Report offers an in-depth analysis of these evolving trends, uncovering how data, policy, and innovation are converging to redefine the region’s digital economy.
