A recent report by nPerf, a network performance measurement firm, has ranked Ooredoo as the top mobile operator in Tunisia for 4G and 5G coverage. The report, which covers the period from September 1, 2025, to August 31, 2026, shows that Ooredoo has achieved a score of 92.43% in 4G coverage, surpassing its competitors. This ranking is based on the company's performance across the country, with a focus on its ability to provide reliable and widespread coverage.
The competition among Tunisian mobile operators is fierce, with Orange Tunisia and Tunisie Telecom closely following Ooredoo in the 4G coverage rankings. Orange Tunisia secured a score of 91.35%, while Tunisie Telecom achieved 91.21%. The margins between the top three operators are slim, indicating a high level of performance across the industry. In terms of 5G coverage, Ooredoo again took the lead with a score of 57.44%, just ahead of Orange Tunisia with 57.16%.
While Ooredoo leads in overall 5G coverage, Orange Tunisia has a slight edge in terms of geographical coverage, with 41.33% compared to Ooredoo's 40.67%. However, Ooredoo excels in terms of population coverage in mobility, with 74.21% compared to Orange's 72.99%. These nuanced findings suggest that the performance of each operator can vary significantly depending on the specific criteria used.
The ranking of mobile operators varies significantly across different regions in Tunisia. In the Grand Tunis area, Orange takes the top spot in both 4G and 5G coverage, with scores of 97.99% and 62.85%, respectively. In contrast, Ooredoo leads in the Centre-Est region with 96.17% in 4G coverage. These regional variations highlight the complexities of providing comprehensive coverage across the country.
It is essential to note that the nPerf report focuses specifically on coverage and does not assess other critical factors such as network performance or data speeds. The findings provide valuable insights into the current state of mobile network coverage in Tunisia but should be considered in conjunction with other metrics to gain a comprehensive understanding of the industry.
The Tunisian mobile market is characterized by intense competition, with each operator striving to improve its coverage and performance. The results of the nPerf report are likely to inform strategic decisions among operators, policymakers, and consumers, highlighting areas of strength and opportunities for growth and improvement.
