Mauritania

We are proud to proclaim that Chinguitel was Expresso’s first ‘green field’ operation; acquiring a licence to operate as a telecom operator in 2006. 

Chinguitel established a CDMA network, providing full coverage across the country by August 2007.  Chinguitel was officially launched at the same time, 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 our corporate customers.

Chinguitel has gained an excellent reputation for reliability and innovation, and we are determined to sustain this reputation as we continue to grow our business in Mauritania.

Our commitment to the Mauritanian market and its people is illustrated by our continued investment, consistently upgrading our network and expanding our coverage.

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

These are truly exciting times for Chinguitel and our customers. We hope to continue our strong relationships with the people of Mauritania, fulfilling their expectations and meeting their needs.  We aim to attract more customers, ensuring a strong and sustainable presence in the Mauritanian market.

Our Chinguitel brand promise is “more than you can imagine”.
