“The original idea came from offering
customers the option of one contract
where they have the experience of fast
reliable Internet using fibre to the home
without having to sign up for multiple data
subscriptions when away from home.”
Mumwe clients can, for example, have a
single fibre to the home subscription and
access the same data pool using Fixed-LTE
or have complete mobility with Mobile-LTE
where the network coverage provides for.
This also streamlines management of data
usage as one merely needs to keep an eye
on one centralised data pool instead of
multiple data contracts.

“People have become so reliant on their
Internet connection that it even goes on
holiday with them,” added Hall.
“We have now introduced a solution that
helps our customers avoid signing multiple
data contracts. Mumwe is a combined
offering that could provide cost savings in
the process.”
Fast fibre Internet access
Gobabis, a city in eastern Namibia, now
has lightning fast reliable fibre Internet
access thanks to Paratus, who is offering
its standard range of fibre packages to
businesses and residents.
Paratus recently completed a national fibre
project, connecting from the WACS landing
station in Swakopmund eastward to the
border of Botswana and dropped off in
various towns en route of which Gobabis
was one.
Hall said it was a natural progression
for Paratus to start connecting the
towns en route of the first privately
owned national back-haul fibre network
through Namibia.
“We will continue on our relentless drive to
make investments towards elevating our
citizens to gain access to fast and reliable
Internet services,” he said.
