The United Arab Emirates has set a new global record in fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) coverage, reaching 99.5%. This achievement maintains the UAE\u2019s position as the number one country in the world for FTTH, according to the FTTH Council Europe<\/a>\u2019s 2024 report. The UAE has held the top spot since 2016.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n The report shows the UAE ahead of other advanced countries. South Korea ranked second with 96.6%, followed by China at 93.6%. Hong Kong came in fifth with 89.9%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Behind this success is e& UAE, a key player in the nation\u2019s telecom sector. The company holds the highest fixed broadband penetration rate across the country. Its fibre-optic infrastructure spans over 14.5 million kilometres\u2014more than 360 times the Earth\u2019s circumference. As a result, over 2.88 million homes in the UAE enjoy high-speed internet access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This progress reflects e& UAE\u2019s strong \u201cFiber-First\u201d strategy.

It supports the UAE\u2019s digital goals and helps the country stay ahead in global digital transformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Masood M. Sharif Mahmood, CEO of e& UAE, said this milestone is the result of long-term efforts. The journey began in 1986 when the company first introduced fibre-optic technology in the UAE\u2019s transport network. In 2011, Abu Dhabi became the first capital in the world to be fully covered by fibre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Today, this achievement highlights e& UAE\u2019s commitment to innovation and progress. It also supports the goals of the Telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority, aiming to make the UAE a global leader in connectivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To build on this success, e& UAE is expanding fibre coverage even further. New services like Fibre-to-the-Yacht (FTTY) bring high-speed internet to marinas. Meanwhile, Fibre-to-the-Room (FTTR) ensures strong connectivity throughout the home, ideal for smart living.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With every step, e& UAE is shaping the future of digital infrastructure in the UAE and beyond.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The United Arab Emirates has set a new global record […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":40,"featured_media":92010,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[9617],"tags":[376],"contributor":[9732],"class_list":["post-92009","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-latest-news","tag-networking-2","contributor-news-desk"],"featured_image_src":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/UAE-01.jpg","author_info":{"display_name":"Techx Admin","author_link":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/author\/techxadmin\/"},"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/92009","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/40"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=92009"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/92009\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/92010"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=92009"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=92009"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=92009"},{"taxonomy":"contributor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/contributor?post=92009"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
