Algerie Telecom to rollout VoLTE network supplied by Ericsson

Ericsson has been awarded a contract to deploy the first LTE and VoLTE-enabled network in Northern Africa for Algerie Telecom.

The network will be a fixed-wireless based broadband Internet service.

Massive demand for broadband services is putting extreme strain on Algeria’s existing copper/fibre fixed-broadband network. Ericsson’s initial deployment will cover "white spots" that do not currently have broadband access, before extending to high-density locations such as universities, airports and commercial districts.
