Abu Dhabi Water and Electricity Authority (Adwea) has signed a strategic agreement with du, the UAE's integrated telecom service provider, giving du uninterrupted access to all installed and planned fibre optics networks across Abu Dhabi.
The agreement was signed by David Copstake, Managing Director, Transco, and Osman Sultan, Chief Executive Officer of du.
Copstake said: "Through Transco, Adwea owns a state-of-the-art fibre optics network. With the continually increasing demand for internet bandwidth, our agreement with du is fully designed to offer unlimited access to the current dark fibre network, enabling du to further implement its leading telecom technology."
Sultan said: "The interconnection agreement and access to Transco's dark fibres network is expected to bring out a lot of synergies and raise the playing field for us in the UAE.
"It will enable us to serve our Abu Dhabi customers better and it will create the ideal platform for offering a multitude of services in the future."
