The real deal

The Paratus Express Route is a fibre route that provides the fastest connectivity between Johannesburg and Europe.

In today’s interconnected world, network outages have far-reaching consequences, cautions Paratus Group CTO Rolf Mendelsohn.

Pan-African telco Paratus Group announces it is providing LEO satellite solutions to clients in SA, Botswana, Mozambique and Zambia.

The Paratus Express Route provides the fastest connectivity between Johannesburg and Europe, with a latency of 123 milliseconds, the company says.

Paratus Group has invested in multiple subsea cables to ensure redundancy and maintain the stability of its networks.

According to a joint statement, the deal grants GVA access to the usage of Fast Congo-operated and maintained facilities.

The newly constructed Paratus South Africa Teleport, based in Pretoria, has entered the final stages of completion.

With further infrastructure investments, the group plans to double revenue in the next five year.

One of the fibre links crosses Eswatini while the other follows the Komati Port route.

The two parties say the move will improve internet service quality in Zambia, thus boosting digital innovation and economic growth potential.

Paratus will become a reseller for the connectivity services in Mozambique, Kenya, Rwanda, and Nigeria, before expanding to additional nations.
