Since unification in 1990, efforts have been made to create a national telecommunications network.[1]

The infrastructure of the domestic system consists of microwave radio relay, cable, tropospheric scatter, Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM), and CDMA.[1] Fixed-line and mobile-cellular teledensity remains low by regional standards.

The international network consists of three Intelsat (two Indian Ocean, and one Atlantic Ocean), one Intersputnik, and two Arabsat satellite earth stations, and a microwave radio relay to Saudi Arabia and Djibouti. Yemen is a landing point for the international submarine cable Fiber-Optic Link Around the Globe (FLAG).[1]

In 2005 TeleYemen announced it would invest in the FALCON high-capacity loop cable system, which will improve Internet access, including broadband capability, and also expand international call accessibility.[2]

Our Mission is to extend people's ability to keep in touch with their families, friends and business partners around the world. We will work to actively develop advanced telecommunications networks that will enable people to develop, learn and grow and to become a leading contributor to Yemen's development drive.
