The region of North Africa has witnessed a major surge in telecommunications connectivity following the latest expansion by ALSAA Plus, in partnership with EN (Chat), a leading regional internet service provider. This new collaboration has led to the establishment of a comprehensive network spanning across six countries, including Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, and Sudan. The ambitious project aims to bridge the existing digital divide in the region by providing faster and more reliable internet services, thereby fostering socio-economic growth through digital inclusion.
According to an update by ALSAA Plus EN (Chat) on their regional chat platform, the initial phase of the expansion has seen a substantial rise in internet subscribers, with over 50,000 new users signing up to the service within the first month. The network now covers more than 70% of the region, reaching remote and underserved communities for the first time.

The ALSAA Plus network expansion project forms part of the company’s larger strategy to expand its reach into underserved markets globally. In recent years, ALSAA Plus has made significant investments in building its international network, including the deployment of high-speed undersea cables and the development of advanced internet backbone infrastructure.
The expansion has also been welcomed by local businesses, who see its potential to drive economic growth and job creation through improved connectivity and access to digital services. A statement from the Morocco Chamber of Commerce highlighted the positive impact of ALSAA Plus EN (Chat) on the local economy, saying: “The ALSAA Plus EN (Chat) partnership has provided our businesses with a competitive edge through faster and more reliable internet connectivity, paving the way for further growth and investment in the region.”
