du mobile network enhances as fastest of its kind in the UAE

du have announced the newest important network milestone, with du’s mobile network being the fastest in the UAE based on mean throughput for all mobile technologies. According to independent benchmarking, du’s mobile network has become the fastest in the UAE, with a mean throughput of 300Mbps across all mobile technologies. This success comes on the heels of du’s smart recent statement of being the UAE’s fastest 5G network and is a direct result of the company’s clever decision to invest in 5G as a future-proof technology.

Saleem AlBlooshi, Chief Technology Officer, EITC, said: “Mobile networks have evolved continuously ever since their inception, yet recent advancements have transpired at an unprecedented pace, with demands for capabilities these networks provide at their highest ever point. As such, du has strived to deliver newfound value through its own mobile network and consolidate its position as a leading specialist and provider in this specific area.”

He added, “This approach has yielded positive outcomes, accelerating progression that has ultimately led us today. We are proud that our mobile network in the fastest in the UAE based on mean throughput. However, what’s even more pleasing is the clients and communities we serve are beyond satisfied with the services they avail through this highly capable world-class network.”

The fifth-generation (5G) is currently a well-established foundation for improved mobile broadband and fixed wireless services. In the coming years, the technology will enable further use cases, such as ultra-reliable low latency and massive/industrial IoT use cases for a variety of industries, including manufacturing, oil and gas (O&G), utilities, healthcare, and retail. The announcement reinforces du’s commitment to pushing the UAE’s digital transformation agenda and providing the fastest mobile network in the country to all industries. Furthermore, independent mobile benchmarking reports have validated du’s mobile network’s unique position in terms of mean throughput for the months of September and October 2021.
