UAE has reaffirmed its status as a regional technology leader: national telecom operator e& (formerly Etisalat) installed the world record for upstream data transfer (uplink) speed on the 5G network — 600 Mbit/s. This achievement was made possible due to the introduction of advanced solutions as part of the development of the standard 5G-Advanced.

Why this is important for buyers and property owners in Dubai

In the digital age, Internet speed is not only a matter of convenience, but also a factor that directly affects quality of life, work, safety and investment attractiveness of real estate. This is especially true for Dubai, which is actively developing as smart city with high-tech infrastructure.

• Smart home owners will receive an even more reliable and faster connection for security systems, lighting control, climate control and household appliances.
  
  
• Content creators and bloggersThose living in Dubai will be able to instantly download 8K videos, stream, and work with AR/VR without delay.
  
  
• Investors and tenants are interested in properties with access to advanced digital networks — such houses and apartments are in demand among IT specialists, entrepreneurs and remote workers.
  
  

Corporate clients and commercial property owners will benefit from lightning-fast data transfer for monitoring, logistics and remote control systems.

What's behind the record?

e& specialists combined 2100 MHz and C-band frequencies and used the technology with three transmission antennas, setting a record at an operating 5G base station. This suggests that innovations have already been introduced into the existing infrastructure, rather than being tested.

According to Abdulrahman Al Humaidan, the company's vice president, the new achievement opens up prospects for “rebooting the digital environment” in the UAE and strengthens the country's position as a global technology hub.

Dubai as the region's digital capital

With this level of technological development Dubai is becoming one of the most attractive places to live, invest and do business. High-speed Internet, smart solutions in residential complexes, digital security, working remotely without restrictions are all becoming standard in new residential areas and residences.
