Algerie Telecom’s cellular division Mobilis has announced the expansion of its 4G LTE mobile network to ten additional provinces (wilayas), expanding its total LTE footprint to over 40 of Algeria’s 48 wilayas. The latest 4G rollout entered parts of Ain El Defla, Annaba, Bechar, Bouira, Chlef, El Taref, Jijel, Khenchela, Laghouat and Mostaghanem.
