Du to Launch UAE’s First Multi-Brand Indoor 5G Solution
A leading telecom and digital services provider has partnered with Huawei to deploy the UAE’s first customized multi-band Indoor Base Station solution. As a result, the initiative introduces a new phase in advanced indoor connectivity. Moreover, it marks a notable step in the expansion of 5G-Advanced infrastructure nationwide.
This deployment targets VIP locations, shopping malls, and tier-1 tourist destinations across the UAE. Consequently, indoor users in high-traffic venues will experience stronger and more reliable coverage. At the same time, the rollout supports broader digital transformation efforts across the country.
Integrated Design Enhances Network Efficiency
The solution integrates 3G, 4G, and 5G capabilities into a single radio unit. Therefore, it delivers a significant improvement in infrastructure efficiency. Additionally, the all-in-one design responds to growing demand for high-quality indoor connectivity while promoting sustainability and operational excellence.
The customized pico Remote Radio Unit has been designed to meet specific network requirements. As a result, it becomes the first deployment of its kind in the UAE market. Furthermore, its compact form factor reduces equipment weight and spatial requirements, which simplifies installation.
“Our partnership with Huawei represents another pivotal moment in our 5G+ network journey. Through the UAE’s first multi-band indoor solution as part of a joint collaboration of du & Huawei design teams, we’re aiming to enhance our customers’ connectivity experience in line with our commitment to innovation and sustainability. This technology enables us to deliver exceptional 5G performance where our customers need it most, in the indoor spaces where they live, work, and shop.”
Operational Benefits and Long-Term Impact
By consolidating multiple frequency bands into one compact solution, customers gain access to faster 5G speeds. Consequently, seamless coverage extends to indoor environments that were previously challenging. Moreover, the digital architecture optimizes performance while reducing both power consumption and physical footprint.
The one-box approach also lowers operational complexity. Therefore, network management becomes more efficient and service deployment accelerates. In turn, customers benefit from more reliable connections and improved indoor download speeds.
This multi-band pRRU solution represents a strategic investment in network infrastructure. While it delivers immediate performance gains, it also offers long-term operational advantages. Additionally, reduced capital and operational expenditures support continued investment in future network enhancements. Ultimately, the digital foundation prepares the network for emerging 5G applications and future technological advances.
