High Speed internet everywhere and for everyone
from the center of France…Thanks to the partnership between France Telecom and the Région Auvergne, 99.6% of the homes in this area were eligible for ADSL in 2008. For the remaining 0.4 %, which represent the most isolated homes and for which ADSL access is technically impossible, the Group offers a solution by satellite. Auvergne is thus the 1st French region to be completely covered by high speed access.
… to Senegal !
For 5 years, the Sonatel group has contributed to the development of Internet use by multiplying the access points throughout the country. Thanks to the group's activity, 100% of the Senegalese population can access the Internet, particularly via CDMA technology in isolated regions, which makes Sonatel's Internet network the most important of Sub-Saharan Africa, after South Africa.
