Angola's largest mobile operator — 60%+ market share, anchor of the country's digital economy.

Unitel is Angola’s largest mobile network operator, with more than 60% of the mobile subscriber market and the most extensive coverage footprint in the country. Following the 2020–2023 ownership restructuring around former first-daughter Isabel dos Santos’s stakes, Unitel is now state-anchored through Sonangol and BPC’s combined holdings.

The company holds 5G spectrum allocation, operates the country’s largest data network, and is a strategic infrastructure asset of the Angolan state.
