Telecom Namibia says it plans to expand its mobile network infrastructure through its subsidiary Powercom, which is expected to roll out 19 additional mobile base stations before the end of 2026.
The expansion follows the deployment of 11 new mobile base stations this year and upgrades to eight existing sites as part of the company’s broader network modernisation programme.
Telecom Namibia said the rollout forms part of efforts to improve connectivity coverage, network reliability and digital access in underserved and high-demand areas across the country.
The company said the infrastructure upgrades are being implemented under its 2027 Integrated Strategic Business Plan, which focuses on strengthening network capacity and improving customer experience.
Telecom Namibia said it is also upgrading its mobile and fixed broadband infrastructure, including the migration from 2G and 3G technologies to 4G and 4.5G networks.
“The ongoing modernisation programme reflects Telecom Namibia’s dedication to meeting the evolving connectivity needs of individuals, businesses and communities. We are confident that these investments will result in measurable improvements in network performance and customer satisfaction in the months ahead,” the company said.
The operator said fibre expansion remains central to its strategy, with new long-distance fibre routes being deployed to strengthen national backbone connectivity and improve redundancy between major urban centres.
Telecom Namibia added that it is reinforcing backup power systems through upgrades to generators, batteries and solar hybrid systems to reduce service interruptions during power instability.
