Telecom Namibia has announced what it calls a three-year transformative partnership via a joint venture between mobile technology company ZTE Corporation and its partner company Huafull International Limited.
As part of the company’s five-year Integrated Strategic Business Plan (ISBP) 2027, Telecom Namibia intends to invest in the modernisation of its mobile network (called tn mobile) and coverage expansion. This will include the rolling out of new mobile base stations and the upgrading of existing mobile base stations across the country.
Under the terms of the agreement, Telecom Namibia will procure cutting-edge mobile radio access equipment from the ZTE Corporation and Huafull International Limited joint venture to bolster its mobile network capacity and coverage across the country, including previously underserved areas. The partnership will facilitate the deployment of advanced mobile radio access technology such as 4G, 4.5G, and 5G in order to bring quality, fast, and reliable mobile broadband services to tn mobile consumers.
ZTE Corporation, together with Huafull International, has been involved in the design, construction, and operation of Telecom 3/4G wireless networks since 2013.
Telecom Namibia says the integration of ZTE’s state-of-the art equipment into its network will enable the deployment of next-generation technologies, empowering users with faster data speeds, and improved reliability, while expansion in coverage through the deployment of new sites will enable seamless connectivity.
By leveraging ZTE and Huafull’s expertise and innovation, Telecom Namibia says it aims to accelerate the expansion of its mobile network footprint and deliver enhanced services to both urban and rural areas across the country.
