Description

The optical fiber deployment project in the most border areas of the country
is considered in the strategic dimension an optical belt oriented towards the development approach as a major issue of territorial equality, according to the National Plan for the Territory Laying out (SNAT) decided by the public authorities.

So, the guideline is to promote digital incorporation with a wide vision, while highlighting a participative democracy between the population, per the interconnection of 57 border municipalities and linking all concentrations of living population in this important cross-border with 07 neighboring countries (Morocco, Sub-Saharan, Mauritania, Mali, Niger, Libya and Tunisia), and which will always allow in this slate the multiplication of international access points through the backbone.

However, this mega fiber optic project in the border areas. Which a great part has been achieved, aligns perfectly with the United Nations programme (UNDP) within the framework of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set by the United Nations by 2030 (UN) and also the African Union Border Program (AUPP).
