du has achieved a significant milestone by becoming the first operator in the region—and the UAE the first country globally—to deploy 5G-Advanced (5G-A) technology with a dual-band Active Antenna Unit (AAU), developed in collaboration with Huawei. The deployment features a 64T64R Dual Band AAU operating on 3.7 GHz (N78) and 2.6 GHz (N41) spectrum, delivering enhanced speed, coverage, and spectrum efficiency while reducing power consumption and supporting du's sustainability goals. The new network enables ultra-fast data rates (up to ~5.4 Gbps), ultra-low latency, and supports applications like 8K streaming, autonomous vehicles, and large-scale IoT, marking a leap forward for smart city development and industrial digitalization. With performance gains of up to 33% in average data rates and better cell-edge connectivity, du's 5G-A network sets new global benchmarks and solidifies the UAE's leadership in telecom innovation, aligning with its vision to become a global technology hub.   (ICE DUBAI)
