Regulated information
Orange Belgium
and MEDIALAAN sign a full MVNO[1] agreement that welcomes JIM Mobile and Mobile Vikings on
the Orange Belgium network
Orange Belgium
and MEDIALAAN announce today that they have signed a wholesale
partnership for 5 years for the mobile branch of MEDIALAAN:
Unleashed, which provides mobile services to residential customers
under the Mobile Vikings and JIM Mobile brand. As from spring 2019,
Unleashed will migrate the approximately 365,000 customers of
Mobile Vikings and JIM Mobile, currently hosted on the Base
network, to surf, call and text via the leading 4G network of
Orange Belgium.
Michaël Trabbia, CEO of Orange
Belgium, explains: "I am very happy to start a new collaboration
with MEDIALAAN, the leading Flemish commercial broadcaster. This
full MVNO agreement is more than just a contract. It is the start
of a strong long-term partnership based on a shared vision and the
complementarity of both companies. I look forward to welcoming the
customers of Mobile Vikings and JIM Mobile on our leading 4G
network."
Herbert Vanhove, CEO of Unleashed:
"This strategic partnership is excellent news. We are delighted to
work with Orange, one of the leading telecom operators in Europe.
The match between our companies is there. Orange Belgium has an
excellent understanding of our needs as a challenger in the mobile
market and fully supports our growth ambitions. As a full MVNO we
are indeed able to expand the mobile services that we provide to
our customers and community members. For example we will look at
the possibility to offer fixed internet solutions in the future,
since internet only might be made available as a result of upcoming
regulation. Our partnership with Orange on providing
telecommunication services is another step in MEDIALAAN's digital
transformation strategy: today MEDIALAAN provides its growing base
of youngsters with a strong on line video offering, which it can
now complement with a strengthened telecommunication offering."
Unmatched customer experience on top quality network
Since many years Orange Belgium has been investing massively in its
mobile network to guarantee a top qualitative experience for its
customers.
Orange 4G network covers 99.7% of
the Belgian population (coverage maps issued by telecom
regulator BIPT). The recent report of Open Signal (State of
the mobile networks: Belgium - March 2018) and the recent BeCover+
results of a well-known consumer organization recognize the top
quality of Orange's 4G network.
About Unleashed and MEDIALAAN
The Belgian mobile service
provider Unleashed is part of MEDIALAAN, the largest commercial
broadcaster active in radio, TV and interactive media. Unleashed is
the base camp of three consumer brands - Mobile Vikings, JIM Mobile
and Stievie - who all strive to offer their communities a
competitive and innovative offering.
