With the official granting of 5G licenses in November 2025 and the first commercial launches this December, Algeria is entering a new technological era. For digital players on TrustMe.work, this is not just about speed, but about a deep reshaping of business opportunities. 

Since the publication in Official Journal No. 77 dated November 20, 2025, the Algerian telecom landscape has been transformed. The shift to 5G, led by Mobilis, Djezzy, and Ooredoo, marks the starting point of the National Digital Transformation Strategy 2025–2030. 

1. The rise of Edge Computing and SaaS

 Until now, Algerian developers were limited by latency for critical applications. 5G, with near-zero latency, finally makes it possible to move computing power closer to the end user. 

IT value added: This is the perfect time for local startups to develop Cloud Gaming solutions, augmented reality for retail, or real-time industrial collaboration tools. 

2. Massive connectivity: the era of Industrial IoT

 5G can connect up to 1 million devices per square kilometer. In a country heavily investing in food security and the mining industry, especially in the South, the potential is massive. 

On-the-ground reality: We move from a few isolated sensors to entire ecosystems such as Smart Farming and Smart Grids. IoT integrators and Big Data analysts will become the most in-demand profiles on the local market. 

3. Fiber and 5G: an inseparable duo

 You cannot talk about 5G without fiber. As of December 9, 2025, Algérie Télécom has reached 2.9 million FTTH subscribers. This robust infrastructure is the backbone that allows 5G to deliver on its promises, with speeds exceeding 1 Gb/s in real conditions during recent tests in Algiers. 

Impact for businesses: The end of bottlenecks for remote work and access to remote servers, making it easier to recruit talent in hybrid mode across Algeria. 

4. Sovereignty and cybersecurity: the new challenge

 The deployment of 5G requires a more software-driven network architecture using SDN and NFV. This opens huge opportunities for local digital service companies specializing in cybersecurity. 

2030 objective: Train 500,000 ICT specialists to manage this infrastructure. 5G is not just a tool, it is a lever to retain engineers by offering them world-class technical challenges. 

The launch of 5G at the end of 2025 is a clear signal that the Algerian market is ready for high-performance IT solutions. For decision-makers, the key is not to see 5G as just “super Wi-Fi”, but as the foundation for their next disruptive innovation.
