10 March 2014

Windhoek — The national mobile network operator, MTC, says it is prepared for the data demand tsunami that will arise over the next 3 to 5 years, with on-going investments in infrastructure.

"All the tremendous investments and efforts in terms of infrastructural improvements, the submarine cable, the national fibre backbone, the advanced 3G Single RAN and the 4GLTE radio networks, as well as the migrated IP core systems, are evident in the delivery of excellent mobile bandwidth," said Miguel Geraldes Managing Director of MTC, speaking in Windhoek on Friday. He said MTC has a clear strategy to maintain the current customer base and ensure 60 percent of new activations with customer offerings, which have led to good financial results in the 2012/13 fiscal year. Revenue grew 13.3 percent to N$1.8 billion compared to N$1.6 billion in 2012, with contributions from both revenue groups - post and pre-paid.
