Etisalat Plays
a Fundamental Role
in Extending the FTTH Network
across the Country
The UAE has the highest Fiber to the Home (FTTH) penetration globally, with a coverage
of 94.3 %. A significant amount of this coverage is provided by Etisalat and, as part of its
commitment, the service provider is continuously enhancing this network connectivity.
Etisalat, a multinational Emirati-based telecommunications
services provider, now
operating in 16 countries across the Middle
East, Africa and Asia, is currently working
closely with R&M to upgrade and extend its
FTTH network with the innovative SYNO
Dome Closure solution from R&M. This
undertaking enables Etisalat to have one of
the first patch-free connectivity solutions
in the region, which translates to a resilient,
tamper-proof network that increases the
reliability and uptime of crucial connectivity
services for both home and business users.
Esmaeel Alhammadi, Senior Vice President,
Network Development, Etisalat: «With
Etisalat’s corporate strategy focused on Driving
the Digital Future to Empower Societies,
the network forms a significant component
of this digital transformation journey. Etisalat
has continuously focused on investing in
innovation and on next-generation technologies
and services to expand and enhance
the network.»
