AnyConnect leads a $60 million digital expansion
On 28 July 2025, AnyConnect signed a non-binding MOU with US-based Visium Technologies for a US $60 million digital infrastructure initiative, including expanding Tier III data centres, building a disaster recovery facility in Lubango, and deploying a 1,500 km fibre-optic network along the Lobito Corridor, with a focus on knowledge transfer, workforce training, and enhancing Angola’s digital sovereignty and regional connectivity.
Industry context: meeting Angola’s digital infrastructure needs
Angola’s telecom landscape has undergone liberalisation since 2001, yet it remains challenged by uneven broadband access, costly deployments, and competition with legacy public services like Angola Telecom. AnyConnect’s multi-technology approach—leveraging fibre, LTE, and satellite—is helping to fill these gaps. Its alignment with pan-African digital sovereignty goals mirrors broader regional efforts to shift from extractive models toward locally driven infrastructure development.
The proposed infrastructure expansion underlines a transition from foundational connectivity to resilient, enterprise-grade systems. If realised, the combination of new data centres, disaster resilience facilities, and expanded fibre networks could drastically elevate digital inclusion, economic integration, and technological capacity in Angola and the wider Southern Africa region.
