Paratus Ushers in a New Era of Connectivity with Namibia’s First Private Mobile Network
Paratus Group has marked a significant milestone, launching Namibia’s inaugural private mobile network, integrating advanced LTE and 5G technologies. This groundbreaking initiative coincides with the company’s 20th anniversary operating in the country, a nation strategically vital as Paratus’s core hub for its extensive operations across 15 African markets. This bold move positions Paratus as a formidable contender against the incumbent state-owned telecommunication providers that have traditionally dominated the Namibian landscape, underscoring two decades of dedicated investment in robust digital infrastructure aimed at bolstering connectivity and fostering economic prosperity.
Strategic Investments Fueling Namibia’s Digital Future
Paratus’s commitment to advancing Namibia’s digital capabilities is evident through its substantial and sustained investments. Since 2018, the company has poured approximately $80.1 million (N$1.417 billion) into critical network infrastructure, encompassing an expansive fiber optic network, sophisticated satellite services, state-of-the-art data centers, and the pivotal landing of the Equiano subsea cable. Further solidifying this commitment, Paratus allocated an additional $33.9 million (N$600 million) over the past year specifically for the development of this new mobile network. A significant portion of this recent funding, specifically one-third, was channeled into constructing an innovative digital technology stack. This cutting-edge system, a collaborative effort with industry leaders Cerillion and Nokia, is designed to seamlessly integrate all of Paratus’s services, promising enhanced efficiency and a superior user experience for Namibian consumers and businesses alike.
The launch of this private mobile network by Paratus is more than just a new service; it signifies a pivotal moment for Namibia’s digital transformation. By introducing private LTE and 5G, Paratus is not only expanding access to high-speed internet but also stimulating vital competition, which is crucial for driving innovation and improving service quality across the telecommunications sector. This initiative reinforces Paratus’s unwavering dedication to empowering Namibia’s digital economy and solidifying its role as a leading force in African connectivity, setting a new benchmark for telecommunications development on the continent.
