Why this is important
For Namibia, digital transformation requires strong internet infrastructure. Africa Online reduces dependency on external links by providing local VPN and MPLS circuits, ensuring enterprises enjoy stable and secure performance.
Sector challenges persist, including high deployment costs, evolving compliance obligations and a limited pool of ICT talent. Innovation is advancing nonetheless: hybrid fibre-LTE networks, cloud-native systems and backup redundancy models are reshaping the market. Africa Online’s diversified services make it a key contributor to this evolution.
