Listed telco, Mobile Telecommunications Limited (MTC), says it has now deployed 475km of fiber for back-bone to its sites, as part of efforts to reduce congestion on its network at a cost of N$100 million.
As part of the deployment, fiber has been installed in Pionierspark Ext 1, Dorado Park, Olympia, Kleine-Kuppe ,Elisenheim, Ambrose Village (Kleine Kuppe), Grace Court (Khomasdal) and Auas Breeze (Cimbebasia) and in the coastal suburb of Langstrand.
“This development answers the long wait of a reliable connectivity, while also smoothening the company’s journey of creating a sustainable value for all our stakeholders through innovative digital solutions and a high-performance culture,” MTC’s Chief Human Capital and Corporate Affairs Officer Tim Ekandjo said, adding its customers in the areas can now be connected to its Spectra Home packages.
“This means more rapid access to all your data and applications while ensuring your home has seamless uploading and downloading for home entertainment, live streaming, smart home functionalities, and any other internet-based requirements and communications.”
The mobile company plans to continue with the rollout of its fiber to houses in various towns (Windhoek, Swakopmund and Walvis Bay), supported by additional back-bone expansions to the towers.
