e& UAE Sets World Record with 600Mbps 5G Uplink Speed
Home » Smart Sectors » Telecom » e& UAE Sets World Record with 600Mbps 5G Uplink Speed e& UAE, the flagship telecom arm of e&, has announced a new world record for uplink speed on a live 5G network. The company reported achieving an uplink speed of 600Mbps, marking a milestone in the evolution of 5G-Advanced technology. This achievement was made possible by aggregating FR1 bands at 2100MHz and C-band. The network also used Uplink 3Tx, which includes three transmit antennas. The test was conducted using a commercial Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) at a live 5G site. According to e& UAE, the deployment is fully compliant with 3GPP Release 17 standards. This uplink speed supports the performance of uplink-heavy applications and sets a global benchmark for 5G excellence. Abdulrahman Al Humaidan, Vice President/Fixed Access Network at e& UAE, revealed that this breakthrough opens new opportunities for businesses and individuals. He added that it helps position the UAE as a global technology leader. This development is expected to benefit both enterprise and consumer use cases: Smart factories and logistics hubs can now upload large volumes of sensor data in real time. Cloud-hosted workflows like 3D modelling, AR, and VR will see improved speed and reliability. In addition, e& UAE stated that the new speed enhances live video analytics, real-time drone surveillance, and other critical data-driven applications. Content creators will be able to upload 8K videos and livestreams to platforms like YouTube and TikTok instantly. Gamers are also expected to benefit from low-latency, lag-free cloud gaming. Smart homes will upload high-definition footage and IoT data more efficiently. Other uplink-intensive tasks, like virtual event hosting and AR content creation, will be more seamless. The record is based on 3GPP Release 17 and incorporates features such as enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) and ultra-reliable low-latency communications (URLLC). e& UAE reported that these capabilities support smarter, scalable, and energy-efficient networks. The company emphasized that this deployment reflects its ability to turn vision into reality. With optimized FR1 2100MHz and C-band combined with Uplink 3Tx, e& UAE is shaping the future of 5G connectivity. e& UAE confirmed that once such commercial CPEs become widely available, both consumers and enterprises will benefit from this innovative solution.
