Orange Jordan has reached 95 per cent 4G/LTE coverage

Since merging with Jordan's national telecom 17 years ago, Orange Jordan has invested over $2 billion to extend coverage, upgrade infrastructure, and introduce networks up to fourth-generation wireless (4G). Jérôme Hénique, CEO of Orange Jordan, unveils the company's latest technologies and how they will enable businesses to better connect.

What new technologies has Orange deployed?
Orange Jordan has launched several next-generation networks, including LTE, Fiber-To-The Home (FTTH), Fiber-To-The-Business (FTTB) and IMS. Today, we have reached 95 percent 4G/LTE coverage, deployed 6,000 kilometers of FTTB cable, and are in process of installing more than 700 kilometers of FTTH cable, collectively covering the main cities of the Kingdom.
How is Orange enabling international businesses in Jordan?
Our new FTTB services have successfully enabled businesses to meet their connectivity needs by allowing for the efficiency of smart offices. Similarly, Orange Jordan was the first in the nation to launch a large-capacity IP point of presence (PoP), which is located at our state-of-the-art data centers, letting local and regional operators conveniently access global IP services from Jordan rather than other points, such as Europe or the US.
How is Orange aligned with the Kingdom's national developmental strategy?
As the leading internet operator in the Kingdom, Orange Jordan thought that utilizing solar power would be an effective way to express how important sustainability is to us. This is why we launched our solar farm project last year, which will produce more than 64GWh of renewable energy through a series of five solar farms located throughout the Kingdom. When the solar project is fully operational, it will cover 100 percent of our electricity needs, and we will be the first in the market to have done so.
