Mobile Telecommunications Ltd (MTC) has committed a capital expenditure (CAPEX) budget of N$624.9 million for the 2025/26 financial year, a commitment to strengthening Namibia’s digital and telecommunications landscape through strategic infrastructure investment and technological advancement.
This was revealed during the ICT High-Level Stakeholder engagement held in Oshakati.
According to MTC’s Chief Brand, Marketing, Communications, and Sustainability Officer, Tim Ekandjo, the investment will fund several key projects aimed at enhancing network performance, expanding connectivity, and enabling future-ready digital services across the country.
“This capital allocation is supporting initiatives such as network optimisation and modernisation, information and communication technology (ICT) upgrades, transmission expansion, construction of new network towers, power infrastructure investments for network sites,” said Ekandjo.
“In line with our strategic rollout plan, we will continue constructing new network towers and expanding transmission infrastructure to support increasing data demand and improve nationwide connectivity.
“This investment is particularly important in extending network coverage to underserved and remote areas, ensuring broader access to reliable telecommunications services for all Namibians,” Ekandjo stated.
Recognising the importance of resilient and sustainable operations, MTC will also invest in power infrastructure initiatives aimed at improving operational continuity and strengthening network resilience across its footprint.
In addition, a portion of the allocated capital provides funding for new strategic business initiatives aligned with MTC’s long-term growth objectives and innovation agenda.
Through this substantial investment, the telecommunications company continues to cement its position as Namibia’s premier enabler and driver for digital transformation and socio-economic development, while reinforcing its commitment to delivering world-class telecommunications and ICT services to customers nationwide.
