Almadar: New Strategy for Restructuring of the Second Largest Player in Libyan Telecom Space

Abdulla A. Abouda, General Manager of Almadar Aljadid
Almadar is the second mobile operator in Libya and it provides voice services and certain internet services using GPRS and EDGE technology. The operator is preparing for a launch of 3.7G (4G ready) and further network modernisation. The penetration rates are high but the mobile sector is not saturated yet and there is large potential for data. Almadar has already recovered most of the 100 sites affected by the Libyan revolution, yet the past regime remains a challenge – in the form of corporate culture.

According to the CEO of Libyana Mr. Mokhtar, the mobile operator is now primarily focusing on the reconstruction of the ICT sector in Libya. As a part of its network modernisation project, Libyana aims to introduce new data services, including HSBA service and LTE in the main hotspot areas. The operator is taking all necessary steps to ensure that even the most distant places in Libya will soon enjoy solid telecom connections.
