This milestone demonstrates our dedication to innovation and technology excellence. In partnership with PROSE, we have achieved seamless 5.5G connectivity in the Burj Khalifa lifts, establishing a new standard for network performance and reliability in one of the most demanding indoor environment.”
Aili Liu, PROSE – Global CEO, said: “Being involved in the 5.5G transformation of the world’s tallest building is not only a tremendous honour but also a clear demonstration of the strength and reliability of our solutions. We appreciate the trust of e& UAE and the dedication of the teams who brought this complex rollout to life.”
