e& UAE hits world record 600Mbps upload speed on 5G, making digital life and work faster and smarter.
ABU DHABI: Telecom provider e& UAE has made global headlines by achieving the fastest upload speed ever recorded on a 5G mobile network—600 megabits per second (Mbps). This breakthrough is part of the company’s move towards next-generation 5G-Advanced technology.
The record was set using a live 5G site and a regular home internet device, proving that ultra-fast speeds are possible not just in labs, but in real-world settings. This speed means sending videos, photos, or files from your phone or smart device to the internet is now incredibly fast—up to 600Mbps.
Abdulrahman Al Humaidan, Vice President of Fixed Access Network at e& UAE, said, “This is more than just fast internet. It’s a new way for people and businesses to connect, create, and innovate. We’re proud to show the world that the UAE is leading the way in tech.”
What does this speed mean in daily life? For businesses, it means smart factories and delivery hubs can send large amounts of data in real time, helping machines and systems work better using artificial intelligence. For creative professionals, it means uploading large 3D files or videos instantly, making online teamwork easier than ever.
For everyday users, it brings smoother live streaming, whether you’re going live on TikTok or uploading a high-quality video to YouTube. It also means better online gaming with less lag, and smart home systems that work faster by sending video and data in real time.
This breakthrough supports everything from live video used in smart cities to drones sharing real-time footage. It makes all digital interactions quicker, more advanced, and far more reliable.
The technology used in this achievement follows the latest international standards and was tested using widely available mobile network equipment. It combines multiple frequency bands and advanced antennas to achieve the high speed.
As e& UAE moves forward with this technology, devices that can support it will become more common. When they do, this record-breaking speed will become part of everyday life—powering faster, smarter, and more connected digital experiences across the UAE.
