Orange Egypt is offering 4G services at no additional
costs
In
a press conference attended by prominent ICT press and media persons, Orange
Egypt’s Chief Executive Officer, Jean Marc Harion, announced the company’s launch
of “4G for Everybody” Campaign after acquiring the license last October. The
CEO stated that the company will receive 4G frequencies within 3 months from
signing the 4G and virtual fixed lines’ licenses’ agreement with NTRA.
Orange
is well prepared to avail the 4G services for every customer with a bunch of
offers, services and devices. Orange is offering now double the monthly internet
package for customers to try 4G services without any additional cost. According
to the announcement, the company is also launching before the end of November an
affordable 4G smart phone TECNO N9 at a price of EGP 1199. This step comes with
the aim of encouraging users to make benefit of the new 4G services at minimum
cost. In addition, Orange customers who have a smartphone will have the
privilege of replacing their SIM cards for free in Orange shops while
discovering the whole range of 4G devices the company offers.
During
the press conference Orange Egypt CEO conducted two 4G experimental video
calls, one in Cairo calling the Smart Village and the other in Alexandria,
to test the speeds of the new service. The speed test in Garden City, Cairo,
resulted in 27 Mbits/sec; the one in Smart Village recorded 90 Mbits/sec.
“The
4G technology is about having faster Internet, faster internet gaming and
faster media streaming, and with 4G services offered, Orange’s network will be up
to ten times faster than when operating with 3G services,” Harion said. “We are
now ready to go with 4G but will wait for the clearance and blessings of the
Egyptian Regulation body”.
Orange
Egypt’s CEO affirmed the company’s commitment to invest in Egypt – with current
investments reaching more than EGP 32 billion – and its willingness to increase
these investments in the near future.
“Orange believes that the 4G technology has
become much-needed to keep pace with the digital world and customers deserve to
use this technology without any additional financial burdens”. He concluded.
Orange
acquired the 4G license alone for USD 484 million, with 50% of its value to be
paid in EGP and the remaining 50% in USD. The company signed an agreement to
finance the acquisition of 4G and virtual fixed lines’ licenses against a loan
of EUR 500 million from its principal shareholder, Orange Group.
Orange
was the first and fastest operator to sign the 4G license acquisition
agreement.
Orange
group has implemented the 4G experience in more than 18 countries. It will
leverage its extensive technical, marketing and business know-how to benefit
its Egyptian operation and deliver on the promise ‘to connect its customers to
what is essential in their lives’. Harion concluded.
