In this report, the UAE outperformed South Korea, which ranked second with 96.6%, and China, which came in third at 93.6%. Hong Kong followed closely in fifth place with 89.9%.
The telecommunications provider e& UAE plays a pivotal role in this success, boasting the highest fixed broadband penetration rate in the country.
With over 14.5 million kilometers of fiber-optic infrastructure—more than 360 times the Earth’s circumference—e& UAE delivers high-speed connectivity to over 2.88 million homes nationwide.
This initiative is part of the company’s “Fiber-First” strategy, aimed at enhancing the connectivity experience.
Masood M. Sharif Mahmood, CEO of e& UAE, remarked that this achievement reflects decades of dedication, beginning in 1986 with the introduction of fiber-optic technology in the UAE’s transport network.
Notably, Abu Dhabi became the first capital in the world to achieve complete fiber-optic coverage in 2011.
This milestone highlights e& UAE’s commitment to digital transformation and reinforces the UAE’s leadership in technology.
The company continues to expand its fiber-optic offerings, including innovative services like Fiber-to-the-Yacht (FTTY) for yachts and Fiber-to-the-Room (FTTR) for enhanced home connectivity.
These efforts align with the objectives of the Telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority to establish the UAE as a global connectivity hub.
