Paratus Mozambique has opened a new office in Nampula and established a point-of-presence (PoP), along with another in Nacala, North of the country.

The company says the PoPs will provide reliable internet access via fibre or microwave, and, in more remote areas, satellite.

“This is a key strategic development for our business,” explains Paratus Mozambique MD, Rui Maia Costa. “Our oil, gas, banking/Fintech, and shipping customers are already planning their migration to our infrastructure in the north because they are aware of the benefits.”

Paratus Mozambique, part of the pan-African telco, Paratus Group, deploys its own infrastructure.

According to the company, this, coupled with its full telecommunications and spectrum use licences, bolsters its service offering and coverage via the Paratus Sub-Saharan network.

Costa adds: “With a contiguous footprint of fully redundant, quality connections from Mozambique to Namibia, from Zambia to Botswana and South Africa, we have the area covered for the best possible quality connectivity – and where we need last mile or combined connectivity, we have this covered too. It’s an exciting time for our business here in Mozambique as more and more key business sectors realise now that it is critical to have the best possible connectivity and linked service options.

“Through Paratus Group’s offering of four datacentres in three African countries, quality network routes across the SADC region, and PoPs not only in northern Mozambique now but also in 37 African countries, we are busy transforming the continent through exceptional digital infrastructure and customer service. We have appointed expert technicians and sales support staff in our new Nampula office who will be on hand to service our customers’ needs in that region,” he adds.
