As part of its network equipment renewal programme, Méditel began with the ochre city. Thus, Marrakech is the first high-density network city to receive the operator's new infrastructure. Following the pilot schemes in Essaouira and Taroudant, the ochre city represents an important step in the deployment of Méditel's latest-generation network. According to a press release, more than 750,000 Marrakchis will now be able to benefit from the new network. The transition to the new infrastructure has, according to the same source, provided the city of Marrakech with the best network coverage, with 100% 3G. The speed of 3G connections has been tripled, with the maximum speed now increasing from 14 to 42 Mbps. The operation also enabled the widespread rollout of EDGE technology, which has allowed 2G network data usage to increase sevenfold. Network accessibility has been improved by 20%. The modernisation of the Méditel network is a new step towards improving the daily lives of users. The ease of use, made possible by the new infrastructure, has resulted in strong growth in usage. Thus, 3G traffic has increased by 26%, while 2G data traffic has increased by 69%.
