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 fiber 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 Q1 2021, Orange had 50 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:
Orange has been expanding its mobile coverage in its footprint and has more than 100,000 radio sites over its 26 counties.
With 5G and in addition to existing networks, Orange wants to maintain its leadership in networks with new useful services adapted to its customers’ changing usage patterns. Orange considers the development of 5G around three areas:
• improved high-speed mobile broadband
• very high-speed fixed broadband access
• new applications to support the digital transformation of businesses
