At a forum held in Algiers, the Minister of Post and Telecommunications, Sid Ali Zerrouki, announced that the specifications for 5G will be ready in two weeks. He insisted on considering deploying this technology, stressing that Algeria is not behind and that 5G must serve strategic fields such as agriculture, medicine, or industry 4.0, and not classic web uses. He also highlighted the guarantees provided for data protection and measures against cyberattacks. In addition, the Minister affirmed that the rollout of fibre optics will reach 100% of the national territory by 2027, with 265,000 km already installed. On the postal front, he announced the launch of a virtual magnetic card stored on a telephone, and spoke of the need to modernise Algérie Poste to meet new technological requirements.
