To enhance mobile communication in challenging environments, Egypt is set to roll out WiFi calling services by the end of this week. This new service, currently awaiting final regulatory approval from the National Telecom Regulatory Authority (NTRA), promises to address significant mobile coverage issues in dense urban neighborhoods and high-rise buildings, where traditional cellular networks often struggle.
WiFi calling, a technology that enables users to make voice calls over internet connections rather than relying solely on mobile networks, has become increasingly popular in regions with challenging coverage conditions. In Egypt, the service will operate over 4G networks, with full support from mobile operators, offering an alternative route for high-quality voice communication.
The move is seen as a crucial step in bridging the gap between technological advancements and the practical needs of mobile users, providing a much-needed solution for millions living in areas where signal strength is often weak or inconsistent. The introduction of WiFi calling also underscores Egypt’s broader push to modernize its telecom infrastructure and improve service quality for consumers across the nation.
With the final approval of the NTRA, this service is expected to roll out swiftly, marking a significant milestone in Egypt’s telecommunications evolution.
