SHERIDAN, WYOMING - December 24, 2025 - UAE operator du has signed a three-year agreement with Huawei after deploying what the companies describe as the world's first 25Gbps E-band microwave link to support a 5G-Advanced (5G-A) site rollout, aiming to boost capacity and consistency where fiber backhaul is limited.

From "site upgrades" to backhaul strategy
5G-Advanced pushes more traffic through the radio layer, but the customer experience still hinges on the transport network behind it. du framed the partnership as a joint innovation framework-not just procurement-designed to keep pace with surging data transmission demand while accelerating scalable 5G-A coverage across the UAE, including areas where fiber deployment is slower or impractical.
