MASORANGE

News Summary:

On February 19, 2026, MasOrange expanded its 5G-Advanced (5G-A) network across Spain's major cities, including Madrid and Barcelona, in collaboration with Ericsson, deploying advanced radio access network (RAN) technology to enhance its existing 5G standalone network. Earlier on the same day, the company, formed in 2024 from the merger of Orange Spain and Masmovil, reported 2025 revenues of EUR 7.60 billion, a 2.9% year-on-year increase, driven by "strong commercial and financial momentum," and added 240,000 postpay subscribers. MasOrange aims to diversify its service offerings and transform into a "TechCo," solidifying its position as Spain's leading telco by customer numbers. On February 18, MasOrange announced it had activated new RAN capabilities nationwide, bringing 5G-A live in 20 cities, with network upgrades designed to support applications like cloud gaming, real-time video, AR/VR, and connected wearables. This followed its approximately €1.2 billion investment in 2025—over 15% of total revenues—primarily directed towards expanding 5G networks, FTTH deployments, and technological innovation. Previously, on February 17, Ericsson confirmed its collaboration with MasOrange on the rapid deployment of the 5G Advanced RAN across major Spanish cities, building on their existing partnership and following a launch in Seville last year to bring next-generation 5G capabilities into commercial use.
