Orange Egypt, the leading provider of integrated telecommunications services, brings Triple Play services and Fiber to the Home (FTTH) technology within 90 Avenue, a luxurious real estate project handled by Tabarak Development, the leading real estate developer in Egypt.

Upon signing a cooperation agreement, the two parties will deliver advanced smart city technologies to ensure a modern lifestyle to residents and create a smart residential environment powered by innovative solutions.

“90 Avenue is a new project to be added to a long list of huge, smart real estate projects implemented by Orange Egypt. We will definitely continue to invest in our infrastructure and new technologies to promote Orange’s leading position in terms of providing telecommunications services within compounds,” Karim Kamel, Director of Home Internet & Triple Play at Orange Egypt, explained.

Among the provisions in the said agreement is the access to Orange’s Triple Play services and Home Automation technologies. In detail, the Triple Play includes high-speed Internet, IPTV, and landline connections that utilize fiber optics through an internal network established specially for 90 Avenue.

On the other hand, the automation provided by Orange Egypt allows the interconnection of various devices and systems at home. Hence, those who are part of the elite compound’s 1,450 housing units can remotely control lighting, heating, ventilation, air conditioning, curtains, door locks, home security systems, and highly sensitive insurance services against theft, fire, and other risks.

Mohamed Shier, Head of IT at Tabarak Developments, said: “All services are provided to 90 Avenue residents through the I COMMUNITY app, which enables the project’s residents to communicate quickly and easily with the administration. Consequently, the administration will take the necessary procedures to meet their demands and needs.”

As a matter of fact, Orange Egypt — being the first choice for elite real estate developers in Egypt — already provides more than 40 residential and tourist complexes in Egypt with automation and Triple Play services.
