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.

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.
