Building on a Global Record in Wireless Transport
The launch of Uranus MB² follows the success of the Full Duplex trial, where E& Egypt—working with Huawei and under the supervision of the National Telecom Regulatory Authority (NTRA)—achieved a new global record in wireless transport capacity.
Using E-Band spectrum, the test recorded a speed of 100 Gbps over a single 2 GHz channel within a 35-degree sector at the same site, a breakthrough that positions E& Egypt among the world’s leading telecom operators driving future-generation technologies.
Aligned with Egypt’s Regulatory Vision
This achievement aligns with the NTRA’s forward-looking regulatory strategy and the government’s support for advanced communication technologies. The authority emphasized that Egypt’s commitment to maximizing national spectrum resources and enabling cutting-edge technologies is a cornerstone of building a strong and inclusive digital economy.
A Future-Ready Digital Ecosystem
Together, these technological advancements affirm E& Egypt’s role as a catalyst in shaping the future of telecommunications. By integrating innovative solutions and investing in next-generation infrastructure, the company continues to accelerate digital transformation nationwide—reinforcing Egypt’s position as a regional leader in advanced network capabilities.
