The advent of the Wi-Fi Calling service in Egypt marks a significant step forward in the field of communications in the country. According to an official source in the communications sector, Egypt plans to launch this service in the first quarter of 2025. This initiative aims to improve the quality of communications services in the country, especially in areas that are not well served by traditional mobile antennas.
Wi-Fi Calling allows users to make and receive phone calls over the Internet, providing better audio quality, especially in areas with limited mobile coverage, such as remote areas or buildings with thick walls. By offering a more economical alternative to traditional calls, the Wi-Fi Calling service is particularly advantageous for international calls or in areas with limited cellular coverage, reducing costs for users.
This initiative is part of a drive to modernize Egypt’s communications infrastructure and improve services accessible via the Internet, paving the way for increased use of the web in daily life, whether in a professional or social context. It is also a step forward towards better use of communications technologies to meet the needs of citizens.
The communications sector in Egypt has experienced sustained growth, with significant investments aimed at improving technological infrastructure, expanding the fiber optic network in all regions, increasing the number of mobile antennas and collaborating with international companies to extend submarine cables. Indeed, due to its strategic geographical position, Egypt is a gateway for almost 90% of data between Asia and Europe.
The near future is expected to see continued improvement in the application of the Wi-Fi Calling service in Egypt, with increasing investments in Internet infrastructure and expanding coverage in different areas. Egypt’s telecom operators will also continue their efforts to develop new services to improve the user experience in this ever-evolving field.
In conclusion, the launch of the Wi-Fi Calling service in Egypt represents an important step towards improved connectivity and quality communications services for citizens. This initiative demonstrates the country’s commitment to embracing technological advances to meet the growing needs of its population in terms of communications and internet access.
