Aspiring to be the most admired telecom group in emerging markets, Etisalat strives to consistently foster innovation and deliver first-in-market technologies wherever it operates. This is evidenced by its many technological firsts and successes. In the UAE, Etisalat currently has the widest coverage of 3G and 4G mobile technologies. The telco has established an extensive Fiber-To-The-Home (FTTH) network, making the UAE rank as one of the most fibre-connected countries in the world. Etisalat has conducted expeditionary trials of 5G services in the UAE – the first-ever in the region – including coordinating the development, design and deployment of future ICT platforms for fifth generation mobile broadband.
