UAE-based telco Etisalat Group and Huawei, a global information and communications technology solutions provider, have signed a new agreement that will see the two companies working together to trial ultra-fast 40Gbps GPON technology across the Etisalat Group footprint in the next four years.
Etisalat Group and Huawei outlined the roadmap for trialing a first of its kind 40Gbps fibre network that can eventually offer more reliable, faster, and affordable broadband telecommunication services to households and businesses. The project is based on GPON (Gigabit Passive Optic Network) technology, which can provide the speed and bandwidth required for seamless services including voice over IP, high-speed Internet, and IPTV.
The future of the digital society remains a promising one as people, businesses and cities become more profoundly connected through vibrant information and communication technologies, says Hatem Bamatraf, Chief Technology Officer at Etisalat Group.
Etisalat Group remains committed to bringing its customers the latest and most advanced services. We have focused on constantly enhancing our networks, creating strong partnerships, and bringing innovative technologies to our markets, he added.
