Algeria is making substantial headway in its mission to enhance digital connectivity, with recent infrastructure developments in the State of Masila representing a key milestone in the nation’s broader technological advancement strategy. During an official regional visit in April 2025, Minister Syed Ali Zarooqi emphasized the critical importance of adhering to aggressive development schedules to meet growing public demand for high-quality telecommunications services.
On September 11, 2025, the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications officially launched more than 17,000 new Fiber-to-the-Home connections across multiple municipalities. This initiative delivers high-speed internet access directly to thousands of households, significantly upgrading the quality and reliability of residential broadband services.
Work is already progressing on an additional 28,000 fiber optic lines, with completion anticipated before the end of October 2025. These efforts are designed to extend high-performance internet coverage to a wider population, reducing connectivity gaps and supporting both social and economic activities.
In a complementary move, the ministry has also enhanced mobile network infrastructure throughout Masila. Three new Mobilis base stations went live on the same day as the fiber launch, substantially improving signal strength and network capacity in previously underserved locations. Plans are in place to activate over ten more stations in the coming weeks, further solidifying mobile service availability across the state.
These coordinated upgrades reflect Algeria’s dedicated approach to modernizing its national communications framework. By expanding both fixed and mobile networks, the government aims to ensure that advanced, dependable digital services are accessible to all citizens, whether in urban centers or remote rural areas.
