Wana (formerly Maroc Connect) (established in 1999) is the third main telecommunication company in Morocco. It was one of the early Internet service providers in Morocco. It started marketing its internet services representing the brand Wanadoo, thus the name Wana. Initially a subsidiary of France Telecom, it is now controlled by the Moroccan conglomerate ONA, with Zain of Kuwait holding about 30% of equity.
The name comes from the former Wanadoo brand which was represented by Maroc Connect in Morocco for a few years.
Internet
The internet service of Wana will start soon. To avoid the high cost of wiring and installations, and to quickly serve the commercial market, Wana has used a technology known as BLR (Boucle Local Radio, Last Mile Wireless Delivery Systems).
Mobile and landline
This service began on February 7th 2007. Wana broke a record of susbsciptions to its services: 24000 in one day. The technology used is CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access).
