Cameroon Telecoms, Mobile and Broadband Statistics and Analyses 2019 – ResearchAndMarkets.com

DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The “Cameroon
– Telecoms, Mobile and Broadband – Statistics and Analyses”

report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s
offering.

The ICT sector in Cameroon is making steady progress enabling the
country to make better use of the digital economy. Currently, about 95%
of all electronic transactions are carried through the m-money services
operated by MTN Cameroon and Orange Cameroon. The government has also
been supportive, having launched its Cameroon Digital 2020 program,
aimed at improving connectivity nationally. A large number of small ICT
projects form part of the overall program. By September 2018 the SAIL
submarine cable had been laid, providing a direct link to Brazil and
with onward connectivity to other countries in the Americas. The cable
will substantially improve international bandwidth and lead to further
reductions in access prices for consumers.

Cameroon was for many years one of the few countries in Africa with only
two competing mobile operators. After some delays, Nextell Cameroon
(majority-owned by Viettel) launched a third network in late 2014,
including the country’s first 3G mobile service. The operator has grown
rapidly, signing up more than 4.89 million subscribers by late 2018. LTE
services have also developed strongly, with Orange Cameroon securing
revised concessions to its existing 3G licence to enable it to launch
LTE services and so compete more effectively with MTN. These
developments were the catalyst for a fast-developing mobile broadband
sector. The investment programs among operators over the next few years
will considerably boost mobile broadband services in rural areas of the
country, many of which are underserved by fixed-line infrastructure.

Further development is quickening in mobile banking and commerce, with
Nextell having launched its own m-money service in late 2018.

Key Developments:

  • Camtel contracts SatADSL for satellite broadband services;
  • Cable laying for the SAIL cable system to Brazil is completed;
