10Gbps Society: A Catalyst for Digital Transformation in

the Gulf

Digital productivity, fueled by the in-depth application of innovative
technologies like cloud computing, artificial intelligence (AI), 5G,
and ultra-broadband, is emerging as a key driver of economic
growth. Enterprises and homes are witnessing rapid adoption of
new digital services, accelerating the pace of digital transformation.

Behind this progress is the evolution of ultra-broadband from
a limited focus on connectivity to delivering enhanced multi-
dimensional digital experiences. In this emergent intelligent era,
the emphasis is on unleashing the full potential of digital services,
ensuring easy and efficient access for everyone, everywhere and
all the time.

Ultra-broadband solves existing challenges that limit productivity
by providing massive computing power for digital services, offering
guaranteed connectivity for concurrent users, and ensuring
ubiquitous access with a high-quality and reliable experience.

The vision involves achieving ubiquitous 10-gigabit access by
accelerating mobile and home broadband, intelligent and secure
enterprise campus networks, and private line services to 10Gbps.
This ambitious goal aims to provide ubiquitous, high-quality,
10-gigabit connections to people and organizations, fostering the
widespread adoption of digital services.

The rise of the gigabit society
At the recent Ultra-Broadband Forum (UBBF 2023), Huawei, with
its partners, the UAE Telecommunications and Digital Government
Regulatory Authority (TDRA), Omdia, etisalat by e&, MTN South
Dr. Mohamed Madkour Africa, and others, released 10Gbps City Initiative as a use case for
VP, Marketing & Solutions Sales the 10-gigabit era.

The 10Gbps City Initiative advocates for the construction of
fully connected 10Gbps cities to provide a ubiquitous network
experience, accelerate the digital-intelligent transformation of
industries, and boost overall digital productivity. This program
envisions an ultra-fast broadband infrastructure that can deliver
sustainable 10 gigabits per second (Gbps) of data to individuals,
homes, enterprises, and campuses. It is a new type of infrastructure
that aims to boost the digital economy and enable new applications
and services that require high bandwidth and low latency.
