Ooredoo Tunisia recently announced that it has started its pilot testing of 4G LTE service in the country by partnering with Nokia. Its initial 4G test results have shown a download speed equal of 69 Mb/s, but the operator targets to achieve 100Mbps for its launch.
Ooredoo said that it plans to deploy pilot networks in two major cities in Tunisia with the commercial nation-wide network launch expected to take place early next year.
The company has a consolidated global customer base of more than 114 million people as of 30 June 2015. Formerly known as Tunisiana, the operator was rebranded to Ooredoo in April last year.
