The UAE-based telecommunications company, e& UAE, claims to have reached an impressive milestone by achieving a record-breaking speed of 62 Gbps on aggregated 5G-Advanced (5G-A) network. This speed was obtained by aggregating multiple carriers across high-band and low-band frequencies, leveraging advanced hardware and complex algorithms, including multi-user, multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) technology.
Khalid Murshed, the CTIO of e& UAE, stated, “We are thrilled to announce e& UAE’s achievement of the world’s fastest 5G-A network speed. With the target of 10Giga nation, we are poised to unleash the boundless potential of technology, empower innovative services and applications that will transform the fabric of society and the economy.”
Furthermore, e& UAE is employing artificial intelligence to tailor personalized experiences and enhance energy-saving efforts. Murshed elaborated, indicating that the adoption of 5G-Advanced solutions not only provides a unique experience for users but also lays the foundation for ultra-high future download speeds.
In collaboration with Ericsson, e& UAE showcased the implementation of Low Latency, Low Loss, Scalable Throughput (L4S) technology for time-sensitive communications on their 5G Standalone network. During a demonstration at the GITEX Global 2024 event, the technology reduced latency to less than half and maintained it within a specific range.
Ericsson emphasized that implementing L4S enhances e& UAE’s 5G capabilities, which is crucial for industrial control and mobility automation. This technology supports dynamic media applications, including extended reality and cloud gaming.
Marwan Bin Shakar, senior V-P of access network development at e& UAE, praised the successful L4S deployment, stating that it reinforces the company’s leading role in advancing 5G capabilities. He emphasized the value of this advancement for real-time applications, promising seamless connectivity as the company continues to advance toward 5G-A.
Previously, e& UAE reported achieving a record of 30.5 Gbps and a breakthrough in the 6 GHz band reaching 10 Gbps. These trials aimed to maximize the potential of 6 GHz frequencies and improve user experiences by exploring broad-spectrum availability and throughput enhancements.
