The launch of commercial 5G by Sonatel comes around seven months after the operator acquired the first 5G operating licence in Senegal from the Telecommunications and Postal Regulatory Authority (ARTP) for $57 million. It’s taken a while given the operator first mooted 5G in 2020 and then announced a successful test in December 2021.
Sonatel, which trades as Orange in Senegal through that company’s controlling stake, has launched commercial 5G pilot to provide fixed and mobile internet to residential and business customers in the country. The operator has invited prospective customers to see 5G in action at the Orange Digital Center (ODC) in Dakar.

The launch of commercial 5G by Sonatel comes around seven months after the operator acquired the first 5G operating licence in Senegal from the Telecommunications and Postal Regulatory Authority (ARTP) for $57 million.
Sonatel the historic public operator of telecommunications in Senegal currently works under the brand, Orange, a French-based company. Orange has launched 4G and 4G+, while Free obtained its 4G License in 2018. Cable Services – In 2017, Senegal’s bandwidth was 23 Gigabytes/second (Gb/s).
Internet usage is dominated by 2G/3G/4G mobile internet users, who accounted for 98 percent of the overall internet market as of December 31, 2020 . Senegal is experiencing increased availability of 3G/4G fiber optic services in the country, and limited 5G testing in Dakar.
According to Ecofin, In the 5G segment, Sonatel is ahead of its main competitors Expresso Sénégal and Saga Africa Holding Limited (Free). The latter acquired its operating licence in December 2023 for CFA 13.5 billion. According to ARTP data, Orange had 12.5 million mobile subscribers in the third quarter of 2023 for a market share of 56.47%.
The global solar storage container market is experiencing explosive growth, with demand increasing by over 200% in the past two years. Pre-fabricated containerized solutions now account for approximately 35% of all new utility-scale storage deployments worldwide. North America leads with 40% market share, driven by streamlined permitting processes and tax incentives that reduce total project costs by 15-25%. Europe follows closely with 32% market share, where standardized container designs have cut installation timelines by 60% compared to traditional built-in-place systems. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 45% CAGR, with China's manufacturing scale reducing container prices by 18% annually. Emerging markets in Africa and Latin America are adopting mobile container solutions for rapid electrification, with typical payback periods of 3-5 years. Major projects now deploy clusters of 20+ containers creating storage farms with 100+MWh capacity at costs below $280/kWh.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving solar storage container performance while reducing costs. Next-generation thermal management systems maintain optimal operating temperatures with 40% less energy consumption, extending battery lifespan to 15+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $80/kWh to $45/kWh since 2023. Smart integration features now allow multiple containers to operate as coordinated virtual power plants, increasing revenue potential by 25% through peak shaving and grid services. Safety innovations including multi-stage fire suppression and gas detection systems have reduced insurance premiums by 30% for container-based projects. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple container additions at just $210/kWh for incremental capacity. These innovations have improved ROI significantly, with commercial projects typically achieving payback in 4-7 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show 20ft containers (1-2MWh) starting at $350,000 and 40ft containers (3-6MWh) from $650,000, with volume discounts available for large orders.
