High-performance networks
driving development
Range invests over €1 billion annually in networks across Africa and the Middle East, bringing high-speed fixed and mobile broadband even to remote areas. Our goal is 85% 4G coverage, reaching the most isolated communities. 5G is already rolling out in Botswana, Jordan, and Senegal.
For off-grid villages, we’re deploying 15,000 new fully solar-powered sites over three years. Projects like the Djoliba network in West Africa and the 2Africa submarine cable create a digital backbone that connects the continent to the world.
In Africa and the Middle East, we’re more than a telecom operator. We’re a partner in digital transformation.
