Ericsson has partnered with Emirates Integrated Telecommunications Company (EITC) to deliver its latest generation of 5G radio solutions as part of du’s network. The strategic partnership aims to reduce network energy consumption while du continues to deploy 5G aggressively in the UAE.

This collaboration is part of du’s plan to simplify network rollout and efficiently manage the expected growth in data traffic over its 5G network and is aligned with the UAE’s long-term sustainability strategy.

As part of this partnership, Ericsson demonstrated reduced power consumption benefits using its ultralight Massive MIMO radios. This will also allow du to leverage their 5G spectral assets to roll out services quickly, efficiently, and deliver 5G user experiences for subscribers.
