e& UAE, the telecom arm of e&, has achieved a regional first in the Middle East and Africa by deploying Ciena\u2019s WaveLogic 6 Extreme (WL6e) on its optical network. This cutting-edge technology significantly enhances the network, enabling ultra-high-speed 400G client infrastructure connectivity. It supports 10Gb home services and caters to wholesale and domestic business customers with 100G and 400G requirements. The deployment also optimizes e&’s 5G network, delivering a premium customer experience, while bolstering the network to meet the growing demands of artificial intelligence (AI) data center hubs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With WL6e, powered by advanced 3nm silicon technology, e& UAE has doubled its data transmission capacity per wavelength to an impressive 1.6 Tb\/s, all within the existing network footprint. This breakthrough confirms the enhancement of e&’s optical network capabilities, solidifying its position at the forefront of telecom innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pete Hall, Head of Middle East and Africa at Ciena, stated, \u201cThe Middle East and Africa region is on the brink of a digital evolution, driven by favorable government policies and the growing demand for cloud services, 5G, and more. WL6e enables e& UAE to provide high-speed connectivity while laying the foundation for a digital future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Abdulrahman Al Humaidan, Senior Vice President of Access Network Department at e& UAE, commented, \u201cDeploying 1.6T line technology is a natural progression in our network transformation. With Ciena\u2019s power-efficient approach and innovation, we are preparing our network for the future needs of AI-based services and contributing to the region\u2019s digital transformation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
