DUBAI – UAE-based telecom and digital services provider du has announced the launch of 5G+, its next-generation 5G-Advanced network upgrade that promises up to double the download speeds compared to existing 5G. The move marks a major milestone in the country’s connectivity roadmap, setting a new standard for mobile performance.
According to du, 5G+ is more than just faster speeds — it delivers lower latency, stronger reliability, and seamless connectivity, unlocking new experiences across entertainment, gaming, AI applications, and real-time communications.
Enhanced Capabilities of 5G+
- Ultra-HD streaming and instant movie downloads, even in high-traffic areas.
- Lag-free mobile gaming with competitive-edge response times.
- AI-powered applications, including real-time translation and augmented reality.
- Crystal-clear video calls and faster social media sharing.
“By introducing 5G+ to our customers, du is setting a new benchmark for mobile performance in the UAE. With more people using generative AI, 5G+ will provide the enhanced capabilities needed to power next-generation applications and create real value for our customers,” said Karim Benkirane, Chief Commercial Officer at du.
Unlike earlier 5G deployments that relied on LTE networks, 5G+ leverages a standalone 5G-Advanced infrastructure, enabling independent operation and significant efficiency gains. Customers will need a compatible device and SIM/eSIM to unlock full 5G+ capabilities.
