The country's mobile infrastructure is in a developmental phase; in the capital N'Djamena and major cities (such as Moundou, Abéché), there is approximately 60-70% 4G LTE coverage. 5G is only available in limited city centers. The main operators are Airtel and MVT (Moov Africa), with Airtel offering higher 4G and limited 5G speeds in cities, while MVT is more reliable in rural areas.
