There are 47 telephone exchanges in the company's system. There are about 150,000 telephone lines in its cable network and its switching network. Camtel operates three satellite-to-earth stations which are: Bepanda, Zamengoe and Garoua.
History
[edit]Before Camtel, telecommunications in Cameroon were managed by several government entities. One of the key institutions was INTELCAM (International Telecommunications of Cameroon), responsible for managing international communications.[1] In 1998, by Presidential Decree No. 98/198 of 8 September 1998, the Cameroonian government merged the Directorate of Telecommunications (which was part of the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications) and INTELCAM to form Camtel (Cameroon Telecommunications).[2]
