About the UCom Network

UCom, branded as U!Com is a major mobile network operating in Armenia. UCom, then Orange Armenia, was established in 2009 after the Orange group acquired a mobile telecoms license in the region. Orange since deployed one of the country’s most extensive 3G and 4G networks across both in the capital Yerevan and many rural areas.

Orange Armenia was purchased by Ucom in 2015 who have since continued rapid expansion and improvement of the network, switching on LTE-A in late 2016. Ucom boasts the country's largest 4G LTE-A footprint.
