Demshi Managing Director Werner Shilunga said the network covers over 4,000 homes in areas such as Kuisebmond, Extension 16, IHS apartment blocks, and Narravile.

He said expansion plans are underway, though some areas are temporarily excluded due to high tar reinstatement costs, with ongoing talks aimed at finding a cost-effective solution for broader coverage.

“Due to the high cost of reinstatement of tar on the sidewalk some areas in Walvis Bay were excluded from the fibre deployment, however, discussions are underway with the Municipality of Walvis Bay to find a cost-effective solution to the Tar reinstatement that will enable us to roll out fibre in many areas in Walvis Bay,” he said. 

Shilunga noted that an investment of N$27 million was made for the Walvis Bay open-access fibre network. 

“Residents in Walvis Bay can contact their internet service provider (ISP) and request to be migrated to fibre through Demshi Open access fibre network to enjoy fast, stable and affordable internet connection,” he said. 

Furthermore, Demshi Open Access Fibre network is also live in Swakopmund and covers the entire Matutura, Tamariskia and Mondesa.

The network covers 6,800 house passes, making it the largest fibre network in Swakopmund. 

“We are expanding the network to cover the new development in Matutura and Tamariskia. An investment of N$ 36 million was invested in the Swakopmund fibre network. Residents and businesses who want to migrate to Fibre must contact their current ISP and request to be connected to Demshi Fibre,” said Shilunga. 

Demshi currently has three ISPs on its network which include Paratus, Echo and IT Guru. The company aims to connect 100,000 Namibian households to its fibre optic network by 2027 with an investment of around N$104 million in expanding its infrastructure across the country.
