Orange Sa - See also Orange (disambiguation) for other meanings of the word.
right Orange SA is a major mobile phone operator. It owns networks in many parts of the world, including France, the Benelux, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, the Dominican Republic, Israel, Slovakia (see Orange Slovensko) and Romania (see Orange Romania). Most operations in Orange SA are also branded Orange, but not all - the most significant being Mobistar in Belgium. To complicate matters further there are also Orange branded operations in Australia, India (Mumbai only) and Israel, but these sub-licence the brand from Orange SA, with the underlying operator being owned by another company (usually Hutchison Telecom). The company was formed by France Tlcom in 2001 after acquiring Orange UK and merging its existing mobile operations into the company. The company was initially 85% owned by France Tlcom, but in 2003 the remaining 15% was purchased. Orange UK was previously majority owned by Hutchison Whampoa and was a successor to their failed point to point mobile telephone system known as Rabbit Orange belongs to the Freemove cell phone alliance. Orange Australia uses CDMA (Qualcomm's cdmaONE, aka IS-95) cell phone technology, while the rest of the Orange companies use GSM. External link
