Sparkle – partnership with Telecom Namibia to deliver enhanced connectivity for the digital transformation of the African country

Sparkle and Telecom Namibia, the national telecommunications operator, have signed an agreement to provide capacity services on the Equiano subsea cable connecting Portugal and South Africa, with the common goal of accelerating Namibia’s digital transformation journey.

Owned by the Government of the Republic of Namibia, Telecom Namibia operates the largest digital telecommunications network in the country, serving over 619,000 customers with a broad portfolio that includes voice, text, data and video solutions.

Under an exclusive agreement, Sparkle will provide Telecom Namibia with capacity services on the Equiano cable ensuring a diversified, low-latency route between Africa and Europe, supporting Namibia’s digital development and the growing demand for data from neighbouring countries.

The partnership offers a diversified, high-capacity route for data transmission, reducing latency and improving network resilience, thus ensuring continuity of service also in the event of SAT-3 and WACS cable outages. The resulting high-speed connectivity will enable businesses and government institutions to accelerate digital transformation initiatives, boosting economic growth and propelling Namibia towards a knowledge-based economy.
