アラブ首長国連邦の通信エリア

アラブ首長国連邦 の数値が意味すること

重要な数値は2つあり、どの会社も引用するのはそのうち1つだけです。一般的な速度は96 Mbps。調子のいいときがどれくらいかを示す数字です。

読む価値があるのは10パーセンタイル、31 Mbpsのほうです。駅の上の基地局が混み合い、周りの全員が同じ電波につながっている、その日の下位1割のときの速度です。中央値が高くて下限が低い国は、本当に必要になるその瞬間まではみごとに動く国だということです。

ビデオ通話やテザリングが欠かせない旅なら、一般的な速度ではなく混雑時の数値を基準に計画してください。

アラブ首長国連邦で回線が混んだときに起きること

混雑は故障ではなく、火曜の夜です。問題は、そのときeSIMに何ができるかで、たいていの旅行用eSIMの答えは「何もできない」です。国ごとに卸契約が1つ、ネットワークが1つ、路上に立ったまま他社のeSIMをもう1枚買う以外に逃げ道がありません。

ここではOrbisloの通信はEtisalat、duを通ります。いま乗っているネットワークが劣化したら、旅行の途中でも、お客様が頼まなくても別の回線へ移します。そのときに邪魔をするのではなく、あとからお知らせします。

アラブ首長国連邦の携帯キャリア

• e&: e& UAE had 16.5 million subscribers at the end of June 2026, up 6.4 percent in a year, after adding almost one million mobile customers over twelve months.
• du: du had 9.3 million mobile customers in the second quarter of 2026: 2.1 million postpaid and 7.2 million prepaid. The company tied the slip in prepaid to a significant decline in tourism over the quarter.
• Virgin Mobile: The UAE has two licensed network operators, e& and du. Virgin Mobile also sells mobile service but as a virtual operator, not a third network.
• e& and du: The regulator renewed the public telecoms licences of e& and du for 20 years, from 9 August 2026 to 8 August 2046, replacing the licences issued in 2006.

アラブ首長国連邦の旧世代ネットワーク

• The regulator announced in August 2021 that 2G-only devices would no longer be sold in the UAE from June 2022, as part of retiring 2G, which the country had used since 1994.
• e& set the end of 2023 as the date to finish shutting down its 2G network and listed feature phones such as the Nokia 105, Nokia 3310 2G and Samsung Guru that stop working on it. A 3G or newer phone left on a 2G setting must be switched over.

アラブ首長国連邦の5G

• In the n78 band e& holds 300 MHz, from 3,300 to 3,600 MHz, and du 200 MHz, from 3,600 to 3,800 MHz. In n41 du holds 2,496 to 2,596 MHz and e& 2,596 to 2,690 MHz.
• The regulator began allocating millimetre wave frequencies between 24.25 and 27.5 GHz for 5G in phases from September 2020, under the UAE Strategy for 5G and Beyond covering 2020 to 2025.
• In 2021 e& and du were each allocated 1 GHz of millimetre wave spectrum in the 25.5 to 27.5 GHz range. The regulator assigns spectrum on operator request under its national plan rather than through auctions.
• e& commercially enabled 5G standalone in 2023 and is rolling out 5.5G, also called 5G-Advanced, on it nationwide, starting with major cities, busy areas and key venues. Phones gain 5.5G through firmware support, and very old SIMs may need replacing.
• du launched 5G standalone in 2023 and installed hundreds of 5G-Advanced base stations after trials in October 2023. The regulator has also trialled 5G-Advanced in the 6 GHz range using 400 MHz of bandwidth.
• Both operators have rolled out standalone 5G since 2023. du reports 98.5 percent 5G population coverage, and e& is reported at a similar level, with virtually all significant towns and major transport routes covered.

アラブ首長国連邦のネットワークについて

• The renewed licences require e& and du to spread international connectivity across multiple land routes and submarine cables, remove single points of failure, and run disaster recovery plans that are tested regularly.
• In September 2025 failures on the SMW4 and IMEWE submarine cables in the Red Sea near Jeddah slowed mobile and home broadband on both Etisalat and du significantly on the Saturday night, with complaints still coming in on the Monday.
