Chinguitel acquired a license to operate as a telecom operator in 2006. Chinguitel established a CDMA network, providing full coverage across the country by August 2007. The company was officially launched at the same time, becoming the third operator in Mauritania. Chinguitel was also the first operator to establish a WiMAX network with full coverage across the business area in the capital, providing data connectivity solutions for its corporate customers.

Chinguitel has gained an excellent reputation for reliability and innovation, and it is determined to sustain this reputation, growing its business in Mauritania. The company’s commitment to the Mauritanian market and its people is illustrated by its continued investment, consistently upgrading its network and expanding its coverage.

With further investment in its network and infrastructure, the company aims to provide high-speed data services and unrivalled mobile products and services, strengthening its capabilities to deliver the right solutions to the customers. In May 2011, Chinguitel launched its new customer proposition with GSM/3G+.

These are truly exciting times for Chinguitel and its subscribers as the company ensures a strong and sustainable presence in the Mauritanian market.
