The commercial launch of 5G in Tunisia is planned for 2024.

The advent of 5G in Tunisia is part of the country’s national digital strategy. This strategy aims to accelerate the digitalization of the administration, secure the national cyberspace, ensure digital sovereignty, and establish a climate of digital trust essential to the implementation of digitalization projects.

Tunisie Telecom and Orange have already tested 5G and are only awaiting regulatory authorization from the National Telecommunications Authority (INT).

“The fifth generation of mobile networks will guarantee a very significant increase in speed. It promises ultra-fast connectivity, reduced latency and increased capacity, thus opening the way to new possibilities and applications, especially those related to the Internet of Things and connected objects in general. It will inspire us to redefine the boundaries of technological development and will be a key catalyst for innovation and technological progress in all fields,” said Nizar Ben Neji, minister of communication technologies.
