The initial phase of the 5G rollout targets high-traffic areas across all governorates, with plans for gradual nationwide expansion. Orange Egypt is collaborating with the National Telecom Regulatory Authority (NTRA) to ensure compliance with international quality standards. The 5G network offers faster upload and download speeds compared to 4G, with enhanced capacity to support multiple devices and users while maintaining service reliability.
This initiative addresses Egypt’s increasing need for high-speed internet, driven by the rise in digital applications, online education, remote work, gaming, and streaming. The 5G network supports data-intensive activities such as ultra-HD video calls, immersive gaming, real-time social media streaming, and advanced technologies like artificial intelligence and smart city solutions, enhancing user experiences in both personal and professional settings.
In October 2024, Orange Egypt secured a 15-year license to operate 5G services, following a preliminary agreement earlier that year. This license underscores the company’s dedication to advancing Egypt’s digital infrastructure and supporting its technological growth.
Dr. Ayman Amiri, Chief Technology and Information Officer at Orange Egypt, stated: “The launch of 5G services is a genuine milestone in Egypt’s digital evolution. It highlights our ongoing commitment to providing customers with the fastest and most reliable technologies available. At Orange Egypt, we believe this technology will bring meaningful improvements to people’s lives and drive growth across vital sectors that depend on advanced digital infrastructure. Our continued investment in network development underscores our dedication to providing world-class telecom services and positioning Egypt as a leading regional hub for advanced technology.”
The 5G launch aligns with Orange Egypt’s strategic vision to strengthen its leadership in the telecommunications market by delivering innovative digital solutions. By fostering connectivity and supporting sustainable digital development, the company aims to contribute to Egypt’s evolving technological landscape and meet the needs of a rapidly changing digital world.
