Orange Digital Center in Abidjan-Plateau hosted the 5th edition of Orange Business Live on July 15, 2021. An opportunity for panelists to discuss the importance of connectivity strategies and the various African initiatives for the implementation of high-speed Internet

Placed under the theme “The social and economic impact of high-speed internet”, this 5th edition of Orange Business Live was an opportunity to highlight the various means of connectivity, the digital economy and initiatives. Habib Bamba, director of digital and media transformation, pointed out that unlike in previous years, it's easier to download a file today. “Digital adoption is growing in Africa. In the 90s, to download a 1GB video, you had to wait 3 minutes. Today, it only takes 16 seconds to download a large file,” he said. On the issue of broadband internet in terms of good governance, Anne-Rachel Inné, Executive Director of Government and Political Affairs at L'Américain (Arin), focused on different broadband connectivity strategies in different types of governance. “It is absolutely essential that we be able to connect universities so that our students finally benefit from connectivity and distance learning,” she says.

Note that Orange fiber offers solutions to various unresolved problems through the Brida project, which aims to facilitate the effective use of frequency units to develop networks and services in areas such as the Internet.
