DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The “Algeria
– Telecoms Infrastructure, Operators, Regulations – Statistics and
Analyses” report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s
offering.
Algeria’s fixed-line penetration was in decline for a number of years
before the trend was reversed in 2015. This recovery was short lived,
with the momentum for growth offset by the prevalence of more capable
mobile networks which have attracted a growing proportion of people to
adopt mobile solutions for voice and data services. Nevertheless,
government-funded efforts are continuing to ensure that fixed-line
infrastructure is extended to underserved areas.
This project, accounting for about 500 remaining communities, forms part
of the Universal Service Telecommunications (UTS) program. Three
Universal Service Telecommunications licences were awarded in early
2016, with licensees obliged to provide fixed and wireless telecoms
services to all communities.
The country’s relatively well-developed infrastructure includes a
national fibre backbone which was augmented with a new subsea link to
Valencia in April 2017. Algeria is also part of the 4,500km terrestrial
Trans-Saharan Backbone network which will connect the national network
with other fibre networks in the region.
Mobile penetration is growing slowly, a sign that some level of market
saturation has been reached. The regulator was slow to issue 3G
licences, while LTE licensees did not launch services until September
2016. Despite this tardiness, there have been significant gains in the
adoption of LTE services. Coverage obligations, together with
investments made in the intervening months, will ensure that LTE
services will be extended rapidly in coming years in a bid to secure
national internet coverage by the 2022 target.
