Tunisiana launches 3G

The Qtel Group today announced the launch of 3G services by Tunisiana, the leading mobile operator in Tunisia, which is part of the company’s portfolio of operations.

With launch coverage extending to 48 per cent of the population, Tunisiana will offer 3G services in the regions of Tunis, Sfax, Sousse, Djerba, Cap Bon, Hammamet and Nabeul. The aggressive rollout will soon be extended to cover 71 per cent of the population by the end of the year, with 87 per cent coverage planned for early 2013.

Tunisiana’s license allows the company to deploy an HSPA+ network on both 900MHz and 2100MHz bands, providing for deeper indoor coverage for customers and high definition voice quality.

The Tunisiana offering will include flexible tariffs allowing for daily, weekly and monthly usage.
