The Middle East just took a giant leap forward in 5G technology, thanks to a cutting-edge partnership between UAE telecom giant du and Huawei. The duo has launched the region’s first indoor 5G-Advanced (5G-A) network, delivering blazing-fast speeds of 5.1 Gb/s. This new deployment uses Three Carrier Aggregation (3CC) technology, powered by Huawei's LampSite X digital indoor solution.
What makes this innovation special? It’s all about improving connectivity where we need it most: indoors. Whether you're in a shopping mall, hotel, airport, or residential tower, this breakthrough promises faster, more reliable connections in previously challenging environments.
This partnership is part of a broader strategy that du and Huawei began in 2021 when they launched the Middle East’s first indoor gigabit network. Today, 5G now accounts for over 60% of du’s mobile traffic, demonstrating the tech’s rapid adoption.
For tech enthusiasts, the future is even brighter. Huawei’s Eric Bao, a key leader in this project, notes that the advanced indoor networks are vital for supporting innovations like smart electric vehicles, humanoid robots, and cloud mobile phones. With such transformative tech on the horizon, the UAE is fast becoming a global leader in next-gen connectivity.
