According to a press release by Etisalat , the telco is expanding its current FTTH network, called eLite, to the entire city of Abu Dhabi. Etisalat has already connected more than 300,000 homes through eLite since 2008 and aims to connect the entire UAE by end of 2011, connecting more than 1.4 million homes and offices. The network is based on Huawei’s GPON equipment and, obviously, there is no evidence that this will change in the company’s future plans.
