Orange Caraïbe received licences to provide 4G LTE services in the 800, 1800, 2100, and 2600 MHz bands and successfully launched its LTE-A network in November 2016. The company performed LTE-A Pro tests in July 2018, testing 4X4 MIMO, 256QAM, and 3C aggregation with an additional B20 (800 MHz) carrier. Orange expects to deliver downlink data rates of up to 900 Mbps.
In addition to the aforementioned LTE-A Pro technologies, it is reported Orange Caraïbe has implemented 4C aggregation with an additional B1 (2100 MHz) carrier.
