Namibia is witnessing a significant leap in its telecommunications capabilities with the launch of its first private mobile network.
Paratus Namibia, in collaboration with Vertiv, has successfully deployed a mobile network utilizing LTE and 5G technologies. This project marks a pivotal moment in Namibia’s digital evolution, transforming Paratus from a regional provider into a full-service mobile operator.
Paratus Namibia Launches First Private Mobile Network
The new mobile network is powered by advanced solutions from Vertiv, including cooling units, modular UPS systems, and a converged AC inverter and DC rectifier power system. This infrastructure supports both indoor and outdoor sites, ensuring robust connectivity across the region.
To meet the project’s demands, Paratus Namibia converted a storage space into a telecom data center, deploying modular uninterrupted power supply systems and ensuring reliable redundancy in power and cooling. These efforts were crucial given the tight timelines for launching mobile services.
Key Infrastructure Developments in Namibia’s Telecommunications
Paratus Namibia’s network now offers a comprehensive mobile ecosystem, featuring voice over LTE, WiFi calling, and advanced 5G services. The new data center infrastructure supports connected services for mobile, home, and business customers, emphasizing high availability and scalability.
Real-time monitoring and N+1 backup capacity are integral to the design, ensuring consistent performance and minimal service disruption. This strategic move positions Paratus to adapt to the growing demand for digital services in Namibia.
Future Steps for Paratus Namibia
