Ciena Survey Reveals New AI-Driven Revenue Streams for UAE, Saudi Arabia Service Providers

In the UAE, 96% of respondents expect high-capacity artificial intelligence ( AI )-driven network services to drive revenue growth in the next three to five years, compared to 90% in Saudi Arabia. Managed optical fiber network (MOFN) services remained robust in both markets, with the UAE and Saudi Arabia recording 97% and 96%, respectively. This strong momentum is driven by confidence in revenue generation from interconnecting distributed AI compute clusters over the next three years.
