MTC has launched 5G services in Namibia, becoming the first operator to roll out the technology in the country.
The announcement was made on 24 August 2025 at the Ongwediva Annual Trade Fair.
The service is now available in Ongwediva, Swakopmund, Walvis Bay and Windhoek, with wider coverage planned in the coming months.
MTC Chief Technical and Information Officer Monica Nehemia said the launch marked a major step in the country’s digital growth.
“We are proud to make 5G available to the market. MTC remains committed to leading Namibia’s digital transformation through the provision of a reliable and latest network technology that facilitates access to information, critical services, and communication, thereby bridging the digital divide,” she said.
Nehemia added that 5G would support innovation in areas such as IoT, cybersecurity, cloud computing and digital payments.
“The connectivity power, and seamlessness that comes with 5G is exactly what we need in propelling the digitisation of enterprise solutions … thereby enhancing business operations, efficiency, and fostering innovation and scalability,” she said.
MTC first trialled 5G technology in February 2024.
