This collaboration is in line with UAE’s long-term sustainability policy and is part of du’s ambition to simplify network rollout and efficiently handle the expected surge in data traffic across its 5G network. Ericsson demonstrated decreased power consumption benefits utilizing lightweight Massive MIMO radios as part of this agreement. This will allow du to use their 5G quickly and efficiently.

Eaman Al Roudhan said: “Through our partnership with Ericsson on their BSS solutions we are building a digital infrastructure backbone that soon help us deliver high-performance and reliable 5G services to residents and enterprises across the country. Moreover, with 5G driving, we look forward to leverage connectivity to play a vital role in the digital transformation journey of Kuwait.”

The Motorola Edge 20 is also equipped with a Qualcomm processor that provides up to 55 percent faster graphics and processing than previous models to the first generation of the motorola edge.

Eng. Badar Ali Al-Salehi, the Chairman of the OIC-CERT said, “It has been eluded on many platforms and occasions that the only way to solve the ever increasing cybersecurity challenge is through collaboration. The OIC-CERT 5G Security working group affirms this viewpoint and we are seeing remarkable progress in addressing some of the security concerns around 5G in general.”

An SD-WAN enables automation will help service providers to easily connect to and integrate across all different compute edges required to optimize traffic and management of 5G cells. This will enable seamless transition toward a full 5G infrastructure by managing any transport available across the edge, leveraging 5G transport for those critical applications that require zero latency and higher speeds.
