Tunisia's Telecommunications Sector Undergoes a Crucial Phase with the Transition to Fiber Optic Technology

Tunisia's telecommunications sector is experiencing a pivotal phase with the transition to fiber optic technology, considered the backbone of very high-speed internet. In this context, Tunisie Telecom is implementing an ambitious strategy based on the gradual migration of the traditional copper network to a modern fiber optic network, a step that constitutes a real lever for the national digital transformation process.

This transition also strengthens Tunisia's position as a promising regional hub in the field of information and communication technologies, as investing in fiber optic technology represents a solid foundation for launching smart city projects and intelligent transportation systems, future challenges that cannot be achieved without a performing infrastructure.

Tunisie Telecom: A Key Player in the National Digital Economy

Tunisie Telecom's transition from copper to fiber optic technology reflects a long-term strategic vision that makes the operator more than just a telecommunications service provider: it becomes an essential player in building the national digital economy.

This strategic approach is not limited to improving internet speed for subscribers but aims to modernize the entire national network, enabling the launch of fifth-generation (5G) mobile telephony services and smart applications. In December 2023, Tunisie Telecom marked a first by launching the first test of the "GIGA RAPIDO" service at 1 gigabit per second, confirming its leadership in providing advanced digital solutions.

Strong Growth of Indicators

To ensure optimal internet service quality for all its customers and institutional partners, public and private, Tunisie Telecom has deployed over 60,000 km of fiber optic cables, covering all regions of the republic without exception.

The fiber optic service has recorded strong enthusiasm, particularly thanks to the generalization of its coverage through projects implemented in each governorate.

A Wide Range of Fiber Optic Offers

The fiber optic service offers businesses and individuals very high speeds, guaranteeing optimal performance for various digital applications and ensuring that all users - especially students and pupils - have a stable and powerful connection, adapted to modern uses such as streaming, e-learning, and interactive applications.

Tunisie Telecom thus offers a varied range of fiber optic offers at adapted prices, responding to the best of its customers' expectations.
