[UAE, Dubai, September 21, 2024] Huawei, in partnership with UAE’s du, has successfully deployed the first indoor network in the Middle East based on three-carrier aggregation (3CC) technology using the LampSite X digital solution, marking a significant milestone in du's establishment of a 5G-A network. The network achieves peak rates of up to 5.1 Gb/s, further solidifying du's leading position in 5G user experience.

As early as 2021, du collaborated with Huawei to launch the first ubiquitous indoor gigabit network in the Middle East, and this innovation further enhances that partnership. This joint innovation aims to significantly improve du's mobile network capabilities and enhance the quality of mobile connectivity in indoor scenarios such as shopping malls, hotels, airports, and residential buildings.

As a leading operator in the 5G market, du's continuous innovation has yielded impressive results. Currently, its 5G user traffic exceeds 60% of total mobile traffic, surpassing the combined traffic of 4G and 3G networks. The widespread application of 5G services showcases the success of du's network strategy, while the deployment of wideband TDD three-carrier aggregation will provide users with an unparalleled network experience.

Saleem AlBlooshi, Chief Technology Officer of du, stated: "We are committed to providing our customers with a high-quality user experience. Since introducing 5G in 2019, we have launched a variety of innovative services, with our 5G home wireless service being particularly popular and leading the market share in this area. The introduction of 5G three-carrier aggregation technology into our indoor solutions (IBS) network is a critical step in ensuring a leading 5G user experience, enhancing our network capacity and quality, and significantly boosting customer satisfaction."

Bao Xiangying, President of Huawei's Wireless Product Line for Indoor Digital Solutions, stated: "With the rapid development of 5G networks, user experience has greatly improved, and applications based on low latency and precise indoor positioning are also rapidly advancing. The era of innovation represented by smart cars, humanoid robots, cloud phones, and glasses-free 3D has arrived. Building indoor networks with greater capacity, higher performance, and better energy efficiency is an inevitable choice for operators. As an industry-leading indoor solution, LampSite X will help operators create intelligent and outstanding indoor networks to meet the explosive growth of application demands."
