e& UAE, the flagship telecom arm of global technology group e&, has achieved a groundbreaking regional first by successfully completing the Middle East’s inaugural Proof of Concept (PoC) for flexible dynamic network slicing in partnership with Huawei. This pioneering initiative significantly strengthens e& UAE’s 5G-Advanced (5G-A) capabilities, enabling intelligent, real-time adjustment of network slice resources to seamlessly match evolving enterprise demands and fluctuating radio environments while delivering unbreakable Service Level Agreements (SLAs).
Through the on-demand reallocation of bandwidth, computing power and radio resources, the solution maintained 100 per cent SLA compliance across critical parameters, including low latency and guaranteed throughput, even under high-load and variable conditions. These results empower enterprises in key sectors like manufacturing, healthcare, logistics, and smart cities with tailored, high-performance connectivity that ensures uninterrupted operations, boosts productivity, and eliminates the inefficiencies of static provisioning.
Marwan Bin Shakar, Chief Technology Officer at e& UAE, said: “This regional-first PoC with Huawei accelerates our leadership in 5G-Advanced, building on our commercial slicing rollout and standalone network foundation. We’ve demonstrated truly adaptive, intelligent networks that respond instantaneously to real-world enterprise needs and radio dynamics, unlocking superior reliability, dramatic efficiency gains, reduced operational overhead, and genuine empowerment for businesses across the UAE.”
e& UAE is now set to elevate this dynamic slicing capability even further through Artificial Intelligence integration. By incorporating predictive analytics to anticipate demand patterns and proactive resource orchestration to allocate assets ahead of requirements, this AI enhancement will deliver greater predictability, fortified SLA guarantees, amplified network efficiency, and meaningful cost reductions, advancing the UAE’s vision for a digitally intelligent and economically thriving future.
Gavin Wang, President, e& Global Key Account at Huawei, said: “We are honoured to partner with e& UAE on this landmark regional milestone, which vividly illustrates the revolutionary potential of dynamic network slicing in 5G-Advanced ecosystems. This collaboration sets a powerful new benchmark for agile, SLA-assured enterprise connectivity and accelerates the path toward AI-native networks that redefine industry possibilities.”
This achievement cements e& UAE’s role as a frontrunner in 5G-Advanced innovation, fueling the UAE’s digital economy ambitions by providing enterprises with agile, intelligent connectivity that drives sustainable growth and competitive advantage.
