Mobile Internet penetration in the DRC is at 32.3% and Orange and Vodacom's announcement to construct new base stations in the country aligns with the country's new vision for the digital economy as included in the National Digital Plan Horizon 2025 adopted in 2019.
The telecommunications industry has not yet reached all potential consumers and has room to grow. Mobile telephones have a 44 percent penetration rate; internet penetration is approximately 3 percent of the total population. The DRC has not yet reached 5G and is still developing its 3G/4G network.
Collaborating with Vodacom by sharing both passive and active infrastructure is the most effective approach to fulfilling our commitment to accelerating connectivity access for everyone, including rural areas, while minimizing our environmental footprint.” says Orange Middle East and Africa CEO, Jérôme Hénique.
By 2050, the goal is to have more than 50 percent of households using fiber optics and more than 90 percent able to connect to the internet via mobile phone. The DRC will have to develop its robotics market (digital technology) and become an important market for phones, software, video games and 3D technology.
