Morocco is taking its first concrete steps toward rolling out 5G technology, as the country’s telecommunications authority has officially opened the selection process for awarding licenses to operate next-generation mobile networks.
The move reflects the government’s broader ambition to support Morocco’s economic and social development by expanding access to cutting-edge digital infrastructure. To that end, the regulatory agency has distributed detailed guidelines to potential operators, outlining the full set of rules governing the competitive bidding process. These include technical standards, coverage requirements, and quality-of-service expectations, along with a clear explanation of how proposals will be evaluated—criteria that will be made public to ensure transparency.
Companies interested in entering the race for 5G licenses can obtain the official application documents directly from the telecommunications agency or request further information electronically or via fax. Once the selection process concludes, the successful operators will have their commitments formalized through an official decree and published in the government’s legal bulletin.
