Orange Egypt's Obelisk Tower: Celebrating History, Boosting Connectivity
Orange Egypt is constructing a unique telecommunications tower that celebrates Egypt's rich history while driving digital progress. The tower, designed to resemble a Pharaonic obelisk, will stand near the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) and boost mobile network coverage in the area.
The tower, set to be completed by November 1st, aligns with national efforts to transform the GEM into a world-class smart destination. It will provide advanced communication services around the museum, further enhancing visitor experiences.
The obelisk shape pays tribute to ancient Egyptian civilization, reflecting a nation rich in monumental architecture. While not the first structure to draw inspiration from this era, it is a novel approach to telecommunications infrastructure. The Cairo Tower, built in 1961, is a notable example of modern architecture inspired by ancient Egypt, but it does not mimic the obelisk form.
Orange Egypt's obelisk-shaped tower is a testament to Egypt's commitment to preserving its heritage while embracing digital transformation. Upon completion, it will not only celebrate national identity but also improve mobile connectivity near the GEM.
