A new dimension of performance.
More intelligence. More Transformation. More sustainability.
From the home you live in to the car you drive, smart, connected living has arrived with AI, transforming how you experience life.
AI is powering smart cities, connecting industries, and revolutionising critical sectors from healthcare and logistics to automation and robotics with IoT and network slicing. Built to be faster and smarter, for what matters most.
Our technology runs on an AI-powered network, that self-optimises, predicts demand, and runs greener with improved energy efficiency and lower carbon emissions.
5.5G is the next evolution of 5G, also known as 5G-Advanced, delivering faster speeds, lower latency, and adds smarter AI-powered performance to the network.
It also expands features like network slicing and advanced IoT, enabling upcoming AI powered technologies that will transform the way we live and work.
Built to react in real time, 5.5G delivers fluid gameplay, immersive XR and AR/VR, and consistent performance when every millisecond counts. It also makes networks more energy-aware and intelligent.
The UAE already leads the world in 5G. 5.5G takes that lead further… preparing for 6G enabling new smart city services and advanced applications like network slicing at scale, and building more AI native capabilities into the network.
If you’re an e& UAE mobile customer with a compatible 5G device and a supported eSIM/SIM, you’re upgraded automatically & no steps required. (Some advanced features may require a device software update.)
Most recent eSIM/SIMs provisioned for 5G SA (Stand Alone) on e& UAE will work; very old SIMs may need replacement at our stores. (e& UAE commercially enabled 5G Standalone in 2023.)
Many recent 5G flagships use modems/chipsets that implement 5.5G features. However, vendors enable features via firmware. We’ll publish and update a live device list; meanwhile, keep your phone and carrier settings updated.
It delivers multi-gigabit speeds in tests, with optimized upload performance. Actual speeds vary by device, location, and network traffic.
Yes. You’ll always get the best experience your device supports. A 5.5G-ready phone simply unlocks the next level.
It’s rolling out nationwide on e&’s 5G SA network, with priority coverage in major cities, high-traffic areas, and key venues.
No. You get 5.5G with your existing plan. Future add-ons for things like XR bundles or premium slices may be announced later.
Yes. It fully complies with UAE and international safety standards.
