Maroc Telecom and Inwi have finalized the creation of two joint ventures,Uni Fiber and Uni Tower,aimed at accelerating the rollout of fiber-optic and mobile tower infrastructure across Morocco,the companies said on Wednesday.
The ventures,approved by Morocco’s telecom regulator ANRT on June 18,will receive a combined investment of 4.4 billion dirhams ($490 million) over three years.
Uni Fiber will focus on deploying massive infrastructure for fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) services,targeting one million connections within two years and three million within five years.
Uni Tower will manage the construction and modernization of telecom towers,with a goal of 2,000 towers in three years and 6,000 over a decade.
The companies said the infrastructure will be made available to all licensed operators on an open and non-discriminatory basis,in line with regulatory requirements.
Maroc Telecom and Inwi first announced the partnership in March. The move is part of broader efforts to improve digital connectivity and support Morocco’s transition to high-speed internet and 5G services.
