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: Bepanda, Zamengoe and Garoua.

History

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).
