Orange opens an Orange 5G Lab in Madagascar


Frédéric Debord, CEO of Orange Madagascar, and Stéphanie Cavaillès, Open Innovation Director of the Orange Group, today marked the deployment of an Orange 5G Lab in Madagascar with the opening of a trade fair designed to showcase the 5G experience. The show will be held over two days, September 28 and 29, 2023, at the Radisson Blu Tana Waterfront in Ambodivona.

Madagascar has begun preparing for the deployment of 5G, and as a privileged partner in the digital transformation of the Big Island, Orange is committed to accompanying its customers in the discovery of 5G technology. With this in mind, a dedicated trade show is being held on September 28 and 29, 2023 at the Radisson Blu Tana Waterfront in Ambodivona, to introduce companies and digital players to the new innovation features, and to seize the opportunities for the development of their activities.

Nearly 14 Orange Madagascar partners will be on hand at the show to present their various services through a variety of activities. There will be several opportunities to test products and services. It’s a real immersion in the world of innovation and the future.

The show marks the launch of the Orange 5G Lab in Madagascar, located at the Orange Digital Center Madagascar in Ankorondrano. The Orange 5G Lab Madagascar program aims to help digital and economic players better understand the opportunities, value and usefulness of 5G. In this space, they will be able to test their current solutions and services, think about new uses while benefiting from an ecosystem to co-innovate and evolve their business models and processes today.

Orange 5G Lab Madagascar will benefit from the experience and opportunities created by the Orange 5G Lab ecosystem. It is the 19th to be inaugurated and the 3rd in Africa, complementing a network also present in Europe and the Middle East. Orange already counts over 3,350 businesses and communities that have gone through an Orange 5G Lab, with 240 having implemented experiments around their own use cases.

The opening of Orange 5G Lab Madagascar also demonstrates Orange’s commitment to the innovation capacity of the local Malagasy economic and industrial fabric. This experimentation and discovery space is dedicated to co-innovation to envision the 5G applications of tomorrow.

This initiative will allow economic actors, from startups to large enterprises, as well as local communities, to explore 5G and its full potential through a showroom and demonstrations of 5G use cases. They will have access to a test 5G network, advanced 5G equipment and devices, and support from 5G experts.
