e& UAE, a flagship telecoms arm of global technology group e&, has announced the successful deployment of 5G-Advanced (5.5G) connectivity at the world’s tallest tower, the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, delivering exceptional download and upload speeds to the highest observation deck in the world and throughout the tower’s high-speed lifts.
The upgrade sets a new benchmark for network performance in one of the world’s most challenging indoor environments, reinforcing the UAE’s leadership in next-generation connectivity and smart infrastructure.
As part of the project, e& UAE collaborated with PROSE Technologies, a global wireless solutions specialist, to deploy an advanced lift-coverage system engineered for rapid vertical mobility, harsh radio conditions and limited installation space.
Abdul Rahman Al Humaidan, Senior Vice President of Access Network Development at e& UAE, said: “e& UAE is committed to technology leadership and setting global benchmarks. This milestone demonstrates our dedication to innovation and technology excellence. In partnership with PROSE, we have achieved seamless 5.5G connectivity in the Burj Khalifa lifts, establishing a new standard for network performance and reliability in one of the most demanding indoor environments.”
Aili Liu, Global CEO at PROSE, said: “Being involved in the 5.5G transformation of the world’s tallest building is not only a tremendous honour but also a clear demonstration of the strength and reliability of our solutions. We appreciate the trust of e& UAE and the dedication of the teams who brought this complex rollout to life.”
