UAE’s Leading Carrier, du, Boosts Internet Speeds with Multi-Carrier Aggregation for Home Wireless Services
One of the top carriers in the UAE, du, is making strides in enhancing internet speeds for its users with the implementation of multi-carrier aggregation technologies. This innovative approach has the potential to increase internet speeds by up to three times the current rates offered.
Du plans to achieve this by aggregating three carriers, each with a frequency of 100 Mhz, within the C-Band and 2.6 Ghz band. By combining these carriers, du’s network will be capable of delivering significantly faster data speeds to its users.
The primary focus of this multi-carrier aggregation will be on home wireless services. These services were introduced by du in 2021 and have already gained immense popularity, attracting thousands of users in a short span of time.
With the deployment of multi-carrier aggregation, du aims to bolster its wireless home broadband service even further. This will enable the support of future-oriented applications that require high bandwidth and low latency, such as artificial intelligence, 8K video streaming, metaverse, and UHD cloud gaming.
Saleem Al Blooshi, du’s Chief Technology Officer, expressed his anticipation of an imminent rise in users’ average bandwidth demands. To meet these evolving needs, multi-carrier aggregation presents a proven method for enhancing wireless network throughput, both in terms of peak and average speeds. This motivated du to embark on the journey of deploying this technology.
Du has been a pioneer in the UAE, being the first operator to introduce 4G-based home wireless services and subsequently showcasing 5G-based home wireless services. With the implementation of multi-carrier aggregation, du plans to soon offer 3CC-enabled advanced 5G home wireless services. This will further strengthen their ability to accommodate cutting-edge applications like AI, metaverse, Extended Reality (XR) gaming, and (XR) meetings, which are expected to become widespread in the next 12 months.
As du forges ahead with its commitment to enhancing internet speeds and providing state-of-the-art services, it continues to solidify its position as a leader in the telecommunications industry in the UAE.
