Líbia: cobertura móvel

O que os números de Líbia querem dizer

Dois números importam e só um deles é o que todo mundo cita. A velocidade típica, 20.1 Mbps, diz como é um bom momento.

Se a viagem depende de videochamadas ou de roteamento, planeje pelo número da hora cheia e não pelo típico.

O que acontece em Líbia quando a rede fica cheia

Congestionamento não é defeito, é uma terça à noite. A pergunta é o que o seu eSIM pode fazer a respeito, e na maioria dos eSIMs de viagem a resposta é nada: um acordo de atacado por país, uma rede e nenhuma saída além de comprar um segundo eSIM de outra empresa parado na rua.

Aqui o tráfego da Orbislo passa por Libyana, Almadar Aljadid e Hatef Libya. Quando a rede em que você está piora, movemos você para outra, no meio da viagem, sem você pedir, e contamos depois em vez de interromper na hora.

Operadoras móveis em Líbia

• Libyana and Almadar: Both main mobile networks, Libyana and Almadar, belong to the state holding company LPTIC, the former General Post and Telecommunications Company. A third provider, Libya Phone, is owned by Libya Telecom and Technology, itself a state subsidiary.
• Almadar Aljadid: Almadar Aljadid is a state company founded in 1995 and based in Tripoli. It was the first mobile network to operate in Libya and reports more than 5 million subscribers across government bodies, businesses and individuals.
• Almadar Aljadid: Almadar switched on VoLTE, voice calls carried over its 4G network, on 11 January 2026. At launch it worked only on Samsung phones running Android 14 or later, with other devices and operating systems to follow in later phases.

O 5G em Líbia

• Almadar Aljadid officially launched Libya's first 5G service on 27 January 2026, starting with Tripoli as phase one and promising the other Libyan cities in turn.
• Almadar's 5G starts in selected squares and university campuses and is expanding gradually. Its 5G data packages can be added to prepaid and postpaid lines alike, and users on 5G get priority on the network while inside its coverage.
• Almadar first switched on a trial 5G network in Tripoli in October 2019, at a ceremony attended by the head of the Presidential Council, more than six years before the commercial launch.

Notas sobre a rede em Líbia

• Almadar and Libyana began rolling out 4G in southern cities in October 2021, under a plan announced by the state holding company LPTIC to close the coverage gap between the south and the coast.
• Service across Libya is frequently interrupted by power cuts, and high demand, damaged infrastructure, sabotage and theft of telecoms equipment all weigh on connection quality. Disruption is most common in the east.
• Hatif Libya, an LPTIC subsidiary set up in 2008, controls the national fibre optic backbone. Because the country's internet traffic is centralised through the state holding company, the authorities are able to restrict access.
• The regulator is the General Authority for Communications and Informatics. Regulations issued in November 2022 let it license digital services, with internet providers paying a 150 dinar application fee and a 1,000 dinar approval certificate, and allow providers to run their own international gateways.
• The Silphium submarine cable, wholly owned by the Libyan state through the Libyan International Telecoms Company, was completed in October 2021 to link Libya with Greece and add international capacity for the eastern region.
• In November 2023 the Medusa submarine cable system, 8,760 km long, agreed to extend to Libya with two landing points, Tripoli and Benghazi, making Libya the eleventh country on a route that runs from Portugal to Egypt.
• Libya inaugurated its Medusa submarine cable project on 11 May 2025, led by the state holding company LPTIC and meant to lift internet quality and speed in Tripoli, Misrata and Benghazi.
• Libya's political split reaches the telecoms sector. The state holding company LPTIC has had separate offices in Malta, representing the Tobruk-based government, and in Tripoli, representing the Tripoli government.
