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.

Suhail bin Mohammed Al Mazrouei, Minister of Energy and Infrastructure, highlighted that the Cabinet's decision to establish the National Maritime Navigation Centre reflects the UAE's strategic vision for developing an integrated sustainable and innovative maritime ecosystem and reinforcing the country's position as a leading global maritime hub. He explained that the National Maritime Navigation Centre, affiliated with the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure, represents a significant addition to the ongoing development of the UAE's maritime infrastructure. The new centre will manage and operate the Integrated National Maritime System for monitoring maritime traffic and oversee the National Maritime Single Window, which aims to unify procedures and enhance the efficiency of maritime operations. He affirmed that the centre serves as an advanced platform for cooperation among the various entities involved in the maritime sector, thereby strengthening efforts to monitor and protect the sector and elevate its role as a strategic contributor to the national economy. In this context, he expressed sincere gratitude and appreciation to all stakeholders in the UAE maritime sector for their support, collaboration, and dedicated efforts that contributed to the establishment of the centre. He emphasised that this achievement reflects the spirit of integration and collective action that defines the government work system in the UAE. The Minister said, 'The National Maritime Navigation Centre represents a significant step that will enhance the safety and security of the maritime sector, prevent harmful practices through leveraging high-tech solutions, and propel scientific research and studies that can shape policies and inform decision-making. Furthermore, the centre will significantly drive coordination among concerned entities and unify national policies and legislation, ensuring compliance with the highest global maritime safety and security standards, improving operational efficiency, and reducing regulatory complexities. It will also empower national talents through specialised training and research programmes in maritime fields.' He added, 'This decision reflects our wise leadership's belief that excellence in vital sectors can only be achieved through a systematic institutional approach—one that anticipates the future and transforms challenges into opportunities for growth and innovation. The centre will serve as a national enabler for enhancing the quality of maritime services and achieving integration between maritime development and environmental sustainability.' For his part, Eng. Hassan Al Mansouri, Undersecretary for Infrastructure and Transport Affairs at the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure, said, 'The centre will contribute to the development of maritime policies in line with international best practices and the implementation of smart monitoring systems and advanced planning tools—enhancing the UAE's ability to lead the future of maritime navigation. The UAE enjoys world-class maritime infrastructure and a strategic geographic location at the heart of global trade routes. Through this centre, we will strengthen the country's role in supporting supply chains, facilitating international trade, and empowering a new generation of qualified national talents to lead the maritime sector toward a more sustainable future.'
