Sonatel Group is a Publicly Owned company headquartered in Senegal, founded in 1985 with approximately 3730 employees, primarily operating in the telecoms sector. The company operates as an affiliate of France Telecom Group and maintains a presence in Mali, Guinee Bissau, and the Republic of Guinee.
On July 10, 2026, Sonatel (Orange Senegal) deployed 16 new satellite antennas to expand high-speed internet coverage in rural and underserved areas, an investment made as competition in Senegal’s satellite internet market intensifies with Starlink active and Amazon preparing to launch. Previously, on July 3, Sonatel celebrated the graduation of 230 young people from the seventh cohort of the Orange Digital Center's Ecole du Code in Dakar, a program that has trained over 60,000 beneficiaries in Senegal. In May, Sonatel joined a consortium that signed a Memorandum of Understanding on May 15 to launch Via Africa, a submarine cable project connecting Europe to South Africa along the Atlantic coastline. This project, for which telecom and infrastructure investors also signed an MoU on May 22, aims to create a new high-capacity route to improve resilience and bandwidth diversity across West Africa. Earlier in the first quarter of 2026, Sonatel-Orange reported profits of 113.8 billion, a 22.6% increase from the first quarter of 2025, on revenues of 504.2 billion, up 6.9%.
