Etisalat is ranked as the ‘The Most Valuable Portfolio Brand’ in Middle East and North Africa (MENA) by Brand Finance, and has become the first Middle East group to break the $10 billion barrier in terms of wider portfolio value. Today Etisalat boasts of a portfolio of brands such as Etisalat Misr, Mobily, Ufone, Maroc Telecom, PTCL and Etisalat Afghanistan.
A major milestone for Etisalat in early May 2018 was the launch of the first commercial 5G wireless network in the UAE becoming the first telecom operator in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region to achieve this technological milestone with Expo 2020 becoming the first commercial customer in the same year.
Etisalat Group has captured significant market share as it expands across Africa, Asia and the Middle East, most notably in Egypt and Saudi Arabia, where the introduction of innovative mobile broadband services has changed market dynamics and provided affordable mobile internet access for millions of people.
