Libya’s second-largest state-owned mobile operator, Almadar Aljadid, has officially launched the country’s first 5G service, becoming the first national telecom operator to introduce fifth-generation mobile technology in Libya. The announcement was made on January 27, marking a significant milestone in the country’s telecommunications sector.
Almadar said the new 5G service will deliver ultra-fast internet speeds, low latency, and enhanced responsiveness, offering users a significantly improved digital experience. The initial phase of the rollout is focused on Tripoli, with plans to extend coverage across the rest of the country in the near future.
The company described the launch as a qualitative leap for Libya’s digital infrastructure, noting that its 5G packages are competitively priced in line with neighbouring markets. Almadar emphasized that the service is designed to meet rising user expectations and support advanced digital applications.
According to the operator, 5G will play a critical role in Libya’s digital transformation, enabling telemedicine in healthcare, smart solutions in education, and broader economic growth through innovation and entrepreneurship. Almadar said the rollout reflects its commitment to modernising national digital infrastructure and aligning Libya’s telecom sector with global developments.
However, initial reports indicate that 5G availability in Tripoli is currently limited to select central areas, with wider access expected as the rollout progresses.
