Projects

Due to the inability of WiMAX technology to meet the increasing demands for broadband services and the demise of this technology and the pursuit of the latest technologies in the field, Libya Telecom and Technology LTT began in contracting procedures with a consulting firm to help the company to oversee the contracts with leading international companies operating in Libya, in this project the following will be observed:

• This project and technology will be the alternative to Wi-Max, but gradually and will target the big cities first, and gradually will cover the smaller cities.
• Yet to define the Final figures targeted in term of subscribers number not been determined, but it will increase customer satisfaction with the service-doubled capacities and speeds available to subscribers of up to 20 Mbps instead of 2 Mbps compared to current WiMAX service.

This project aims to add 123,000 new subscribers for this service by adding 79 new divider and increasing capacities in the number of 51 divider have already the service, by completing this project, which is currently the its percentage of achievement for the first Q of 2015  is 20%, by completing this project  the number of subscribers to this service will reach to 333,000 distributed among 130 dividers.

This project includes 558 new site to raise the total number of subscribers to 600,000 subscribers distributed on 118 cities and villages, after the first phase had covered only 18 cities and with subscribers number exceeded 200,000.

Along with increasing the capacity of some existing sites, which are recorded congestion to be doubled.

The program is aiming to provide a modern telecom  infrastructure that supports high data speed across the country. Furthermore, the project supports the development of digital transmission media at high quality through fiber optics using IP protocols. NGN program  was designed to be connected with 7 international terminals/gateways (2 with Europe, 3 with Arabic countries & 2 gateways to Africa).

The program is split into a number of projects according to adopted technology and region targeted. Projects are :

• NGBN
• DWDM
• IP/MPLS
• NGSN
• NGAN

LPTIC as an owner of this project is directly supervising the execution of NGBN project (Cable Project) which already completed the execution of (Phase One) of total length 14000 Km amounted EUR.169 Million. (Phase two) execution has commenced in 2010 with total length 9000 Km amounted EUR.117 Million, 23% of phase two work has been completed.
