As part of a strategic collaboration, e UAE , the flagship telecom arm of global technology group e , in partnership with ZTT , a leading provider of advanced fibre optic solutions, has announced the successful completion of the region's first hollow-core fibre HCF field trial.
Conducted over a live external plant link between two facilities, the trial validated measurable latency gains versus conventional solid-glass fibre, with up to a 30 per cent reduction observed under test conditions.
This pioneering initiative marks a significant milestone in the regions fibre optic infrastructure, offering substantial improvements in speed, bandwidth, and energy efficiency. The field trial demonstrated the technology's potential to support future high-performance connectivity across the UAE. HCF, developed with state-of-the-art technology, allows light to travel through air rather than glass.
