The company also extended 5G\/5G+ coverage to 80% of the Bucharest metro network, with the service now available in 50 of the system&#8217;s 62 stations and tunnels.<\/p>\n<p>On the fixed network side, Orange upgraded 220,000 households to the latest fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) technology in the first half of 2026 by decommissioning its copper network and replacing its older fiber-to-the-building (FTTB) infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>Orange Business reported a growth in revenue of more than 20% from IT and telecommunications (IT&amp;C) services and equipment in the first half of 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Cybersecurity remained one of the company&#8217;s fastest-growing business segments, with revenue rising by more than 50% amid increasing demand for digital protection services from organizations.<\/p>\n<p>Its cybersecurity company SCUT, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.romania-insider.com\/orange-cybersecurity-company-scut-romania-2025\" target=\"_blank\">launched last year<\/a>, was protecting 2,800 devices for more than 125 customers and had investigated over 8,500 security incidents by the end of June.<\/p>\n<p>Large-scale IT infrastructure projects and equipment deliveries to corporate customers also supported the segment&#8217;s performance. Revenue from IT&amp;C equipment nearly doubled compared with the first half of 2025, increasing by more than 90%.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, Fundatia Orange put close to EUR 1 million in digital education, professional training, and social inclusion programs. The foundation partnered with the Administration of the National Culture Fund to co-finance by 20% projects covering inclusion topics through culture.<\/p>\n<p>Through its circular economy program RE, Orange collected 38,000 used mobile phones and returned more than 5,000 refurbished devices to the market, up 35% from the same period of last year.<\/p>\n<p>To complement the existing program, Orange introduced a new buyback partner across its retail network, with stores now equipped with Dipli&#8217;s solution. The partnership is designed to streamline the in-store buyback process nationwide, making it easier for customers to trade in their old devices for purchasing power.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The telecommunications industry is entering a new stage of maturity, in which connectivity is becoming the foundation of a much broader digital ecosystem. Competitive advantage will no longer be determined solely by network performance, but by the ability to integrate digital services, cybersecurity, and innovation into a value-added customer experience. That is why, even in a volatile economic environment, Orange&#8217;s investments are always part of a long-term strategy. We are building the infrastructure our customers will need for many years to come,&#8221; Julien Ducarroz, CEO of Orange Romania, said.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Photo: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dreamstime.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Lcva\/ Dreamstime<\/a>)<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>simona@romania-insider.com<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the first six months of 2026, Orange Romania reported a consolidated revenue of EUR 690 million, a slight increase compared with the same period last year.
