Orange Egypt has unveiled the design of the nation’s first telecommunications tower in the shape of a Pharaonic obelisk as part of a ground-breaking project that combines innovation with Egypt’s rich cultural legacy.
This comes before the Grand Egyptian Museum’s (GEM) official opening on November 1.
Significance of Orange Egypt’s Pharaonic obelisk-shaped telecom tower
The obelisk-shaped tower honors the grandeur of ancient Egyptian culture while providing improved mobile network coverage and cutting-edge communication capabilities throughout the museum complex.
The project aligns with national initiatives to turn the Grand Egyptian Museum into a premier smart destination that blends the latest technological advancements with history and culture.
According to Orange Egypt, this initiative demonstrates the company’s dedication to bolstering Egypt’s travel and cultural industries.
In one of the most anticipated cultural landmarks in the world, the company hopes to promote digital transformation and celebrate national identity by fusing contemporary telecommunications infrastructure with iconic Egyptian symbolism.
