Orange innovation

France Telecom R&D is the principal source of innovation for the Group, with 8,500 registered patents. We have 4,200 researchers at 18 worldwide locations, including technocentres in Cairo and Amman. They work on everything from blue-sky research to innovation incubation and localization. Both Business Everywhere and the Orange Livebox are graduates of FT R&D. And our investment in new technologies such as telemedicine, mobile-to-mobile communications (M2M), fixed-mobile convergence (FMC), mobile broadband and next generation networks can be at your disposal through the Solutions for Operators program.

Orange in Middle East & Africa

Orange Business Services has been operating successfully in the Middle East & Middle East for more than 15 years. We employ 2,000 staff in the region, including 1,400 at the Global Service Centre in Cairo and a core consulting team based in the UAE, which taps into a larger group of 400 consultants worldwide. Orange Business Services has more than 500 multinational customers including 350 banks throughout the Middle East.

Orange is expanding rapidly in the region. We own and operate fixed or mobile networks in Botswana, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Egypt, Equatorial Guinea, Republic of Guinea, Guinea Bissau, Ivory Coast, Kenya, Madagascar, Mali, Niger and Senegal. In the Middle East, France Telecom is the majority shareholder in Jordan Telecom which has recently rebranded as Orange. In each case, Orange is helping to modernize existing networks, and build out mobile and wireless networks in underserved locations. In Ivory Coast, for instance, Orange Business Services has built a Metro Ethernet network to support Cote D’Ivoire Telecom’s enterprise customers. This could well be the first all-optical backbone of its kind in Africa.
