Orange has launched its 4G mobile technology in Conakry, making the service available in all the areas of the capital: Kaloum, Dixinn, Ratoma, Matoto and Matam.

As part of a second phase, it will be deployed to cover the whole country, in accordance with the guidelines set by the specifications, which provides coverage for at least 90 per cent of the population.

Sékou Dramé, managing director of Orange Guinea, said that 4G would give the company the opportunity to offering the country and its people growth and development opportunities to which they aspire to shine in the sub-region, the continent and globally. 

The launch of 4G by Orange occurred almost two months after the company obtained a global 10-year licence valid, for some USD90m.

With the launch of the 4G, Orange takes comfort in its position as the market leader with 67 per cent market share ahead of Cellcom and MTN, its main competitor. 

Orange rolled out the 4G technology in Conakry in early May.
