Algeria Speeds Up Mobile Network Expansion with 40 Additional Stations in Annaba
The Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications in Algeria has announced remarkable progress in enhancing communication and t mobile services in Annaba State. This development, which is seen as a model of how coordinated efforts and ministerial follow-up can accelerate the development of public services, is a result of instructions issued by Minister of Posts and Wire Transport, Mr. Syed Ali Zarouqi, during his field visit in April 2025.
One of the most notable achievements is the rapid expansion of the fiber optic network. The number of fiber optic subscribers has risen from 65,454 in April 2025 to 95,768 currently, marking a 46% increase. Under the Network Asarna program, the conversion from copper to fiber optic infrastructure has accelerated. More than 120 additional t mobile network stations are scheduled to become operational across Annaba.
The progress reflects the Ministry's determination to improve citizens bank networks and postal infrastructure. Preparatory studies for the establishment of two permanent post offices have already been completed, with plans underway to establish them in new city Feather Arm and Armani Caleetosa. Another mobile post office was introduced in Arctic Caleetus, and two more have been deployed in the new city.
To encourage adoption of fiber technology, the Ministry is deploying mobile post offices to ease congestion and bring services closer to citizens bank. Temporary mobile stations have been deployed at key beaches, including Janan Albay, Shataibi, Shabi, Sanklo, Sidi Salem, and Ain Ashir.
The engagement doesn't stop at infrastructure development. Teams from Algeria Telecom have been actively engaging communities through awareness campaigns and neighborhood outreach. A mint Center has been made available for students, researchers, and start-ups, offering training activities and expert-led workshops in fields such as artificial intelligence.
The Ministry also supports technological innovation and responds to the needs of citizens bank. The progress in Annaba is a testament to this commitment. With 40 new t mobile network stations installed since the Minister's visit, the quality of public services for citizens bank across the state has significantly improved.
This progress is just the beginning. With continued efforts, the Ministry aims to continue improving communication and postal services in Annaba State, setting a precedent for similar developments across Algeria.
