e& UAE has launched the region’s first commercial 5G network slicing product, marking a major step in next-generation connectivity for businesses across the UAE.
The new solution, powered by the operator’s standalone 5G infrastructure, allows enterprises to create customised virtual networks—known as slices—each with dedicated resources tailored to specific operational needs. This enables ultra-reliable, high-performance connectivity for critical applications in sectors like manufacturing, public safety, logistics, and smart infrastructure.
Unlike traditional networks, 5G slicing partitions a single physical network into isolated virtual slices. Each slice guarantees performance levels, bandwidth, and latency independent of other users on the shared network—ensuring security, stability, and efficiency for business operations.
Oscar Garcia, Senior Vice President of Business Marketing and Product Innovation at e& UAE, said the launch reflects the company’s commitment to advancing digital transformation.
“With 5G network slicing, organisations can achieve guaranteed performance for mission-critical operations through end-to-end reserved capacity,”
he noted.
The offering includes flexible slicing packages based on bandwidth, along with dedicated customer equipment to ensure seamless integration. This approach gives businesses the agility of private networks without the cost or complexity of building them from the ground up.
By introducing this solution, e& UAE positions itself at the forefront of enterprise connectivity, enabling tailored digital solutions that meet the growing demands of today’s data-driven economy.
