The UAE will become one of the first countries in the world to adopt 50G PON (50-Gigabit-capable passive optical networks) technology in live networks, which has been deployed by e& UAE.
The 50G PON (50-Gigabit-capable passive optical networks) technology has the capability to increase internet speeds up to 50 Gigabits per second (Gbps) in the country and represents a significant leap from the previous GPON and XGS-PON technologies, which have been fundamental in delivering broadband services globally.
This reflects the UAE’s leading position in telecommunications and connectivity, as most markets are still in the process of rolling out 10G PON technology.
This will enable faster streaming of high-definition videos, quicker downloads and uploads, and a more responsive online experience. It supports the growing number of smart devices at homes, from smart TVs to connected appliances, ensuring everything runs smoothly.
Marwan Bin Shakar, Senior Vice President Access Network Development, e& UAE, commented: “At e&, we are committed to evolving and meeting the ever-growing demands for faster, more reliable, and widespread connectivity. With the deployment of 50G PON technology, we are leading the charge in transforming our network infrastructure and being future-ready.”
“As we transition into an era of hyper-connectivity and digital transformation, 50G PON technology is beyond an upgrade – it’s a revolution.
“It redefines the possibilities of fibre optic communication, paving the way for ultra-high-speed internet access across all sectors and industries. This advancement positions us at the forefront of global innovation, ready to unlock the future of connectivity.”
With the 50G PON technology, businesses in the UAE will benefit from quicker data transfers, enhanced cloud-based applications, and robust support for bandwidth-intensive operations like video conferencing, remote collaboration, and data backups.
