Orange Egypt said it is ready to launch 4G services once its trial run is completed and receives NTRA approval to launch, Al Masry Al Youm reported. Orange Egypt said it invested EGP 2 bn in preparing its networks to provide 4G services, according to Al Mal. The news comes despite the NTRA reportedly asking mobile network operators to stop the trial launch of 4G services on the 3G spectrum because of complaints about 3G service quality following the start of the trial launch. Orange appears to be undeterred and will proceed with trial runs. Vodafone Egypt had also claimed is has met all the requirements to launch 4G services.
