About the Country

TeleGeography says that Algeria’s commercial introduction of 4G LTE services took place in October 2016 – less than three years after its launch of 3G – and whilst the combined 4G network footprint of the country’s three cellcos Mobilis, Djezzy and Ooredoo has reached a presence in all 48 provinces, significant improvements are still required, evidenced by regulatory fines issued to the trio in 2020 for unsatisfactory 4G coverage.

Algeria’s three cellcos Mobilis, Djezzy and Ooredoo will receive new frequencies in the 2300MHz spectrum band for the first time as part of initiatives to improve data speeds and quality of mobile broadband internet access, it has been announced by Minister of Post & Telecommunications Brahim Boumzar, as reported by Agence Ecofin.

The move was decided at a meeting to assess the implementation of national telecoms sector plans’ mobile network components for the first quarter of 2021.
