What Movitel, SA offers Mozambique’s telecom market
Movitel launched operations in Mozambique in 2012, following its successful bid as the country’s third mobile operator. The company is backed by Viettel and Mozambique’s SPI and is headquartered in Maputo. From its early days it set itself apart with rapid infrastructure roll-out—installing approximately 12,500 km of fibre and 1,800 antennas to support 2G and 3G services nationwide. Today, it runs operations across all 11 provinces and maintains more than 120 district centres, supported by over 1,500 staff.
Movitel is not just a network provider—it has built a reputation for reaching rural areas where competitors often lag. The company’s strategy focuses on expanding access in underserved regions, in line with the national push towards inclusive digitalisation.

Why Movitel matters to Mozambique’s digital transformation
A big step forward came when Movitel joined a government-backed pilot that tested satellite internet under the “Internet for All by 2030” programme. The project set out to connect around 15,000 people in isolated areas by using satellite dishes in places where ordinary mobile towers cannot be built. By installing satellite dishes, the initiative gave entire communities their first reliable connection, something many had never experienced before. For those villages, it meant access to online learning, healthcare advice and even simple digital communication that most urban users take for granted.
By combining traditional ground networks with new satellite projects, Movitel is gradually breaking down access barriers and allowing more Mozambicans to take part in the digital economy. The company’s rural-first strategy has already earned it recognition, and with satellite now added to its mix, that role looks set to grow even further.
