Why this is important

Namibia faces persistent hurdles in internet development: high capital expenditure, a sparse population and limited ICT skills. According to the International Telecommunication Union, such conditions increase the cost per user, making affordable broadband a national challenge.

Bitstream’s hybrid model — mixing fibre, wireless WAN and recovery links — ensures resilience for businesses and communities. Together with Paratus, the company adds credibility and capacity to Namibia’s connectivity landscape.
