Gunnebo Entrance Control has successfully implemented a comprehensive entrance control system for ByteDance's new facilities in Dubai Media City and Business Centre.
This project aims to provide a seamless and secure access experience for one of the foremost global technology companies. ByteDance, renowned for its platforms like TikTok, Lark, and Lemon8, has chosen Dubai as the location for its Corporate Services head office, playing a crucial role in various operational functions such as security and procurement within the region.
Maintaining Robust Protection
To accommodate its rapidly expanding workforce and significant visitor volume, ByteDance required a secure yet welcoming environment.
It became essential to manage access effectively, safeguarding sensitive areas while facilitating everyday operations. Gunnebo Entrance Control collaborated closely with ByteDance's internal teams to meet these security and operational needs, ensuring the smooth transit of both employees and visitors through the premises.
High-Traffic Corporate Environments
A total of twenty-four SpeedStile FLs MAX gates were installed across ByteDance's sites
A total of twenty-four SpeedStile FLs MAX gates were installed across ByteDance's sites, with seven in Media City and seventeen in the Business Centre.
These advanced speed gates are tailored for high-traffic corporate settings, combining enhanced security features with a stylish design. The compact and flexible setup ensures effortless integration with existing access control systems. Intelligent detection within these gates minimizes tailgating and piggybacking, allowing only authorized personnel access while ensuring a steady flow of movement.

This installation necessitated close coordination with ByteDance's IT teams and construction partners to align with the building's design and operational goals. Completed on schedule for the opening of ByteDance's new headquarters, the system is now a pivotal component of the company's regional security strategy.
According to Jacob Touma, "ByteDance is a global brand with demanding requirements for workplace security and employee experience. Their new Dubai offices mark an important hub for the company’s Middle East future, and the SpeedStile FLs MAX delivers the right balance of safety, efficiency, and aesthetics, ensuring smooth movement while maintaining robust protection. This project underlines our commitment to supporting world-leading businesses with reliable, effective entrance control solutions."

Maintaining robust protection
