Renowned Telecommunication Companies in Dubai

Posted by commit on July 3rd, 2015

Telecommunications in the UAE is controlled and supervised by the TRA (Telecommunications Regulatory Authority), established under UAE Federal Law. For 30 years, the industry was monopolized by Etisalat (Emirates Telecommunications Corporation), which remained the sole telephone and telecommunications company and provider of the country until 2006. Exceptions did exist for modern housing developments and free zones, but the majority of the UAE relied on Etisalat for their personal telecommunications needs. It was not until early 2006 (February) that this monopoly was broken when a new telecom company and Internet Service Provider was established. From then on, dU held duopoly with Etisalat, and it remains a strong force in the industry until today.

Earlier, dU only provided triple play (television, broadband internet access, and latency-sensitive telephone) services to free zone areas under EITC (Emirates Integrated Telecommunications Company). Today, however, the company provides mobile services across the UAE while also offering fixed telephony, IPTV, and broadband connectivity to individuals, businesses, and homes throughout the country. The company also provides carrier services for different businesses along with satellite up and down link services for television broadcasters.

When seeking out managed services to help you take care of and save on your telecom services, it is best to partner with top playing companies with strong associations with these dominating telecom corporations. The best managed solutions and IT service providers to trust are those with certified partnerships with telecom bigwigs like dU and are authorized resellers and partners of major IT hardware, software solutions, technology, and electronics brands like Microsoft, HP, Cisco, Panasonic, Adobe, Symantec, Eset, VmWare, Xerox, Polycom, and Molex—all of which make for a strong, well established, state-of-the-art IT and telecom solutions for business.

Etisalat and dU still holds a strong duopoly over UAE's telecommunications industry, with dU recognized as a rapidly growing business since its expansion and rebranding in 2006. The company works hard to expand and enhance their bouquet of services in an industry that the company believes is "at the heart of economic and social transformation." dU brings people and businesses together through their top rated mobile and fixed telephony services, broadband solutions, IPTV offerings, carrier services, internet exchange facilities, data hubs, and satellite services. The company holds at least 50% of the market share in mobile services and more people and businesses are starting to recognize and choose their services, being the Best Mobile Broadband Network in the Middle East and Africa region, according to a 2012 survey by ARC chart.
