At the same time, Orange becomes the operator with the largest investments in the local communications infrastructure, with its total spend reaching €264.6 million

A digital future that needs a modern and powerful telecommunications infrastructure, essential to respond to increased traffic needs, but also innovations in connectivity services,” said Liudmila Climoc, CEO of Orange Romania
“We have made a significant investment to offer customers, the business environment, central and local administrations, but also researchers, an Orange network prepared for the challenges brought by the digital transformation of the next 25 years."
