Numérique : Sonatel inaugure sa 1 000e plaque de fibre optique à l’AIBD
The Sonatel Group has reached a new symbolic milestone in the digital development of Senegal. At a formal ceremony held at the Blaise Diagne International Airport (AIBD) train station, the incumbent operator officially launched its "Digital Highlights" initiative. The event was marked by the inauguration of its 1,000th fiber optic cable, a major milestone that reinforces its position as a technological pioneer, committed to innovation and inclusion.
The ceremony began with the traditional ribbon-cutting performed by Mouhamadou Seck, Chief of Staff to the Minister of Communication, Telecommunications, and Digital Affairs, in the presence of Sonatel's CEO, Sékou Dramé, and Ms. Awa Niang, Director of Communication and External Relations. Ms. Niang emphasized that connecting the population is not simply a matter of deploying networks. She stated that digital access is no longer a privilege but a fundamental right for every Senegalese citizen.
Group executives used this platform to present a glowing review of their investments. Mamadou Bousso, Director of Consumer Marketing, emphasized the operator's technological lead, noting that Sonatel is currently the only mobile operator in Senegal with 5G technology. He also revealed that 900,000 households across the country are now eligible for fiber optic connections. This significant reach is based on a "techno-mix" strategy combining fiber, 4G, 5G, and satellite to meet the specific needs of each geographic area.
The importance of this inauguration for the national ecosystem was praised by leading institutional figures, including Moustapha Cissé, Deputy Director General of APIX, and Ndeye Deguene Sow, Secretary General of the Ministry of Social and Solidarity Economy. In conclusion, Director General Sékou Dramé reaffirmed a clear ambition: to make digital technology a driver of social and economic progress. This commitment will be achieved through sustained investment in infrastructure and a simplified customer experience, guaranteeing high-performance connectivity throughout Senegal.
