Telecom Egypt, operating under the WE brand, has partnered with Huawei to launch a new Fiber-to-the-Room (FTTR) broadband service in Egypt, introducing a next-generation home internet solution designed to improve speed, stability, and wireless coverage across homes.
The companies said the new FTTR technology aims to solve common home internet problems such as weak Wi-Fi signals, slow speeds in certain rooms, and network congestion caused by multiple connected devices. The service is especially designed for large homes with several rooms or floors where traditional Wi-Fi routers often struggle to provide strong and stable coverage.
Huawei’s FTTR system uses fibre optic cables throughout the home instead of relying mainly on traditional wireless extenders. This allows internet connectivity to remain fast and stable in every room while reducing latency and improving overall performance.
According to the companies, the service is intended to support growing digital demands, including smart home systems, online gaming, remote work, online learning, and ultra-high-definition video streaming in 4K and 8K resolutions. The technology can also support many connected devices at the same time without significantly affecting internet quality.
The companies explained that installation has been designed to minimise disruption inside homes. Fibre cables can either pass through existing home ducts or use transparent adhesive fibre cables that do not damage interior decoration.
Mohamed Eltouny, Vice President and Chief Consumer Officer at Telecom Egypt, described the launch as an important step in the company’s digital transformation strategy.
He said the service goes beyond improving internet speed by helping create a fully integrated digital home infrastructure capable of supporting future technologies and rising customer demand for digital services.
Eltouny added that the partnership with Huawei would help Telecom Egypt introduce more advanced technologies into the Egyptian market for both individuals and small businesses.
Louis Lu, Deputy CEO Carrier at Huawei Egypt, said the project reflects the two companies’ shared goal of supporting Egypt’s digital transformation agenda under Egypt Vision 2030.
He noted that Huawei has operated in Egypt for more than 25 years and remains focused on building advanced connectivity infrastructure that can support both households and businesses through faster speeds, stronger reliability, and improved user experience.
Telecom Egypt also confirmed that customers subscribing to the FTTR service will receive professional installation support from trained technicians alongside 24-hour technical assistance.
