Orange priorities for fixed networks:
FTTH lies at the heart of Orange’s fixed network strategy. The FTTH capacity means that Orange can offer consumers fibre access of up to 2 Gbit/s, and up to 10 Gbit/s in the near future by upgrading certain types of equipment. By end of 2019, Orange had 38 million connectable households with FTTH lines in France, Spain, Poland, Slovakia, Jordan and Ivory Coast. Orange’s goal is to have 69 million connectable homes by 2023.
Orange priorities for mobile networks:
In recent years, Orange has reached considerable achievements with its European 4G/4G+ networks, as coverage rates reach close to 100% in some countries such as Belgium or Poland while Orange’s VoWiFi/VoLTE networks are deployed in every country in Europe. The 4G/4G+ networks also operate in all countries in the Middle East/Africa region. Orange is also using its expertise and leadership in FTTH as a preparation for the fibre connectivity for 5G radio sites.
