e& UAE has become the first telecom operator in the region to commercially roll out 5G network slicing, offering a new level of connectivity for businesses through its advanced standalone 5G network. This pioneering move is set to transform enterprise communications by delivering customised, high-performance 5G services tailored to meet the specific demands of various industries.
5G network slicing allows the division of a single physical network into multiple virtual “slices,” each with dedicated resources and capabilities. This ensures reliable, secure, and optimised performance for mission-critical applications across sectors such as manufacturing, public safety, transportation, and smart infrastructure, reports WAM.
The technology supports diverse use cases with specific requirements—from ultra-low latency to high bandwidth and robust Internet of Things (IoT) capabilities—empowering organisations to enhance operational efficiency and responsiveness.
Oscar Garcia, Senior Vice President of Business Marketing and Product Innovation at e& UAE, said, “With the launch of 5G network slicing, we’re delivering on our promise to provide next-generation connectivity solutions that support digital transformation across sectors. Businesses can now rely on guaranteed performance for essential operations through end-to-end reserved capacity.”
To accommodate different business needs, e& UAE offers slicing packages based on bandwidth, allowing tailored speeds and connectivity levels. The solution also includes an industrial-grade 5G Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) device that acts as a dedicated access point, ensuring seamless integration and dependable performance.
Despite running on a shared physical infrastructure, each slice remains fully isolated in terms of traffic and data. This means one slice’s performance remains unaffected by the activities of others on the network, providing a highly secure and stable service for enterprise clients.
With this launch, e& UAE is leading the charge in next-generation network innovation, providing a flexible, cost-effective alternative to private network setups. The introduction of 5G slicing positions the company at the forefront of the UAE’s digital evolution, enabling businesses to build custom virtual networks with unmatched reliability—laying the groundwork for a more intelligent, connected future.
