Andrew Hall, managing director at Paratus Namibia

Paratus Telecommunications in Namibia has introduced its fibre packages to businesses and residents in the city of Gobabis.

The company is offering capped and uncapped packages starting from N$620 for 100Mbps and N$785 for 10Mbps.

Paratus has completed a national fibre project, connecting from the WACS landing station in Swakopmund eastward to the border of Botswana, serving Gobabis and other towns en-route.

The city’s council representative, councillor Liberius Kalili said he was “proud” to have Paratus come forward and address the requirement for businesses and residents to move into the digital age with fibre-optic cable solutions.

“Gobabis can now look towards new opportunities provided by the Internet platform to grow the economy and we call upon entrepreneurs to support the investment made to elevate the town,” he added. “This is a prime example of how mutual cooperation has benefits to both organisations.”

Andrew Hall, managing director at Paratus Namibia said it was a natural progression for the company to start connecting the towns en-route of the first privately- owned national back-haul fibre network through Namibia.

“We will continue on our relentless drive to make investments towards elevating our citizens to gain access to fast and reliable internet services,” he said. “We would like to express our sincere appreciation to Cllr Kalili and the team in Gobabis who were very approachable to the idea of moving ahead with installing fibre infrastructure and their professional execution during the rollout of the first phase of fibre expansion in town”.

The telecom firm also offers a range of satellite solutions for clients who do not live or work in a coverage area.
