This capital commitment is intended to finance the construction of approximately 1,650 kilometers of additional lines, ultimately bringing the national network to nearly 3,500 kilometers by the end of the decade.


Currently backed by an existing network of around 1,700 kilometers, the country aims to meet the growing connectivity needs of an increasingly connected population, with recent statistics from the International Telecommunication Union and sector regulators attesting to massive mobile broadband and internet penetration across all provinces.

The deployment plan is structured around a rigorous phasing strategy targeting major strategic axes to interconnect several inland localities and strengthen the overall robustness of infrastructure. Beyond mere geographical expansion, this vast project aims to equip the country with alternative routes capable of securing data flows in case of disruption on main routes. 


This dynamic is legally grounded in a twenty-year public-private partnership concluded with the Société de patrimoine des infrastructures numériques (SPIN). While existing installations are operated under a lease regime, the new sections are fully financed by the private operator. This virtuous model allows the State to significantly enrich its strategic heritage without increasing public debt, thereby consolidating the foundations of a high-performing and resilient digital economy.
