Telecom Namibia announces the successful completion of eight Fiber (FTTx) projects in 2023 and 2024. These projects aim to modernise and expand Namibia’s communication infrastructure by replacing slow and outdated existing copper infrastructure that has been prone to copper theft and sabotage. Valued at approximately N$35.5 million, these projects have resulted in the installation of 233,858 meters of fiber, enabling the connection of an additional 7,838 meters, particularly in traditionally remote areas.
Telecom Namibia’s Fibre projects demonstrate the power of collaboration in delivering essential infrastructure improvements. The fibre network will serve as a valuable asset to Namibia for years to come, stated Dr Stanley Shanapinda, Telecom Namibia’s CEO.
The company plans to further invest N$27 million in the 2024/25 financial year to expand its fiber network and enhance connectivity across the country. This significant investment underscores Telecom Namibia’s commitment to delivering high-speed, reliable internet services to Namibian communities, thereby bridging the digital divide, particularly starting in traditionally underserved areas such as Katutura in Windhoek, Kuisebmond, and Narraville in Walvis Bay and expanding countrywide.
Telecom Namibia’s expanding fiber network is poised to revolutionize various sectors of the Namibian economy. Enhanced connectivity will benefit tourism by attracting more digital nomads and facilitating seamless communication between businesses and tourists. The high-speed fiber network will accelerate industrial development through digital transformation and remote operations.
